The Design Framework for a Mobile Learning App on Eating Healthy: Connecting Learner Needs with App Features
Journal of Educational Technology and Online Learning, v4 n2 p156-174 2021
This paper aims to propose a design framework for learning technologist to design and develop a mobile learning app in the context of eating healthy. In other words, this study offers a number of theoretical and practical implications that can assist developers in creating more effective mobile apps. In exploring the research behind the foundational problem associated with this study, there are three main learning theories that provide a framework for the app design; the behaviorist perspective, the social constructivism, and the self-determination theory. Based on those theories behind the design, it can be said that personal profile, item search/scan, food snapshot, challenges, social, and resources might be the features of the app to support learning needs.
