Usability Methods and Attributes Reported in Usability Studies of Mobile Apps for Health Care Education: Protocol for a Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

E-learning technologies, including mobile apps, are used to a large extent in health care education. Mobile apps can provide extendable learning environments and motivate students for adaptive and collaborative learning outside the classroom context. Developers should design practical, effective, and easy-to-use mobile apps. Usability testing is an important part of app development in order to understand if apps meet the needs of users.

Objective

The aim of this study is to perform a scoping review of usability methods and attributes reported in usability studies of mobile apps for health care education.

Methods

The scoping review is guided by the methodological framework developed by Arksey & O'Malley and further developed by Levac et al and Kahlil et al.
