In this work the usability of local knowledge to support environmental monitoring is investigated.
As for the first issue, the use of students as inspectors, we can argue that since the subjects possessed high levels of usability knowledge and usability inspection experience, they could be used as experienced inspectors.
In several areas of knowledge, "usability" is a research object, named "ease of use" in response to the trinity "user - task - physical environment".
The features are high level statements rather than detailed specifications; if they are used as the basis for specifications, factors such as usability and the quality of knowledge bases used for decision support also need to be considered.
As for the first issue, the use of students as inspectors, we can argue that since we were looking for inspectors with the same degree of usability knowledge and we balanced both teams, students could be used as subjects since none of them had previous experience with any of the techniques.
The objectives of this study were to evaluate usability and effectiveness in terms of knowledge acquisition from the pamphlet and video in parents of newly born infants.
In the field of CPG development some consider using research on patient preferences as an unsubstantiated add on to already lengthy and complex guidelines that may further decrease adherence, usability and possibilities for transfer of knowledge into translate into practice [ 50].
In this study, we adapted the educational tools to the needs of new parents and evaluated the usability of the tools and the uptake of knowledge as a result of the tools.
To our knowledge, the usability of most of these design patterns have not been evaluated for shared whiteboard systems in hospital contexts.
Second, the study design included an in-depth exploration of the usability of the educational tools and objective measures of knowledge uptake derived from them.
