A Tool for Rating the Value of Health Education Mobile Apps to Enhance Student Learning (MARuL): Development and Usability Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To realize the potential for mobile learning in clinical skills acquisition, medical students and their teachers should be able to evaluate the value of an app to support student learning of clinical skills.

Methods

Using the literature, we developed a list of potential criteria for the evaluation of educational app value,
