Abstract:
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to establish an e-learning system to support learning in medical education and identify solutions for improving the system. METHODS: A learning management system (LMS) and computer-based test (CBT) system were established to support e-learning for medical students. A survey of 219 first- and second-grade medical students was administered. The questionnaire included 9 forced choice questions about the usability of system and 2 open-ended questions about necessary improvements to the system. RESULTS: The LMS consisted of a class management, class evaluation, and class attendance system. CBT consisted of a test management, item bank, and authoring tool system. The results of the survey showed a high level of satisfaction in all system usability items except for stability. Further, the advantages of the e-learning system were ensuring information accessibility, providing constant feedback, and designing an intuitive interface. Necessary improvements to the system were stability, user control, readability, and diverse device usage. CONCLUSION: Based on the findings, suggestions for developing an e-learning system to improve usability by medical students and support learning effectively are recommended.
