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.
