Abstract
The development of information and communication technologies has revolutionized and changed the way we do business in various areas. The field of education did not remain immune to the mentioned changes; there was a gradual integration of the educational process and the mentioned technologies. As a result, platforms for distance learning, as well as the organization of e-learning courses of various types, have been developed. The rapid development of e-learning courses has led to the problem of e-learning course selection and evaluation. The problem of the e-learning course selection can be successfully solved by using multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to propose an integrated approach based on the MCDM methods and symmetry principles for e-learning course selection. The pivot pairwise relative criteria importance assessment (PIPRECIA) method is used for determining the weights of criteria, and the interval-valued triangular fuzzy additive ratio assessment (ARAS) method is used for the ranking of alternatives i.e., e-learning courses. The suitability of the proposed integrated model is demonstrated through a numerical case study.

Summary
The role of information and communication technologies (ICT) has become very important in all aspects of life and business. Wang and Woo [5] state that the integration of information and communication technologies is often seen as a process of deploying any ICT (including resources on the Internet, multimedia programs, learning objects, and other tools) with the aim of improving student learning. The primary function of ICT use is in the field of education, it can be said that information and communication technologies are a tool for achieving learning goals [6] In this competitive world, the future of the education sector is based on knowledge of ICT. Based on all the above, the main aim of this paper is to propose an integrated approach based on the MCDM methods for the selection of the e-learning course. The discussions and conclusions are given at the end of the manuscript
