Development and Usability Assessment of a Mobile Application for Neuroanatomy Teaching: A Case Study in Brazil

摘要

The teaching of Neuroanatomy presents relevant challenges, such as, restrictions to obtain properly preserved corpses , ?high cost for anatomy laboratory maintenance, and difficult contextualization. This article describes the development of a mobile application using cumulative tests (retrieval-based learning approach) for neuroanatomy teaching. A case study of usability assessment was conducted with thirty undergraduate Healthy Sciences students. The application received a positive evaluation, based on the System Usability Scale. The results demonstrate that study participants considered the tested application useful for Neuroanatomy Learning.
