INTERACTION DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURES
Abstract
Training employees in organizations is essential for enhancing productivity and profitability, updating their knowledge, and better preparing them for market demands. Through digital platforms (LMS) and the e-Learning method, training occurs in web-based environments, enabling content management and accessibility across multiple devices. e-Learning typically follows a modular structure, ensuring adaptability, flexibility, and asynchronous learning. This study applies to the Design Science Research method to implement a data protection training course via an LMS, facilitating knowledge dissemination and employee self-assessment. The organization faces challenges in rapidly spreading knowledge due to its widespread locations, diverse working hours, and geographical constraints. The study evaluates training dissemination through microlearning, leveraging Moodle (LMS) and Digital Storytelling techniques. Additionally, it assesses the pedagogical and engagement aspects to ensure training is efficient, standardized, flexible, and more appealing to employees, increasing their receptivity and interest.

Abstract Healthcare organizations increasingly rely on complex digital systems, but software onboarding often depends on manuals and classroom-based training that do not fit well with fast-paced clinical workflows. Interactive in-app guidance may better support learning during real work, although healthcare-specific evidence is still limited. To synthesize evidence on effective onboarding mechanisms for healthcare software and to explore how interactive in-app guidance compares with traditional onboarding in terms of perceived learning support, cognitive burden, and adoption-related outcomes. The study used a sequential design with two components:
(1) a systematic literature review following Kitchenham’s procedures; and
(2) a mixed-methods survey administered via Qualtrics to healthcare professionals (n = 44), complemented by a small screened subsample of IT professionals with healthcare DAP implementation experience (n = 5).
Quantitative data were analysed descriptively, and qualitative responses were examined through thematic analysis to explain and contextualize the observed patterns. The findings from both the literature review and the survey showed a consistent pattern: workflow-embedded onboarding approaches, including hands-on practice, stepwise contextual guidance, and searchable in-app support, were perceived to reduce learning friction and cognitive effort while improving confidence. Among healthcare respondents, 61% reported greater willingness to use the software after onboarding. Continued use was mainly associated with remembering how to use features, interface usability, workflow efficiency, and perceived impact on patient care. IT respondents highlighted implementation constraints related to integration, analytics, and compliance, but also perceived reductions in support burden. Interactive, context-sensitive onboarding appears to be a practical strategy to support healthcare software adoption, especially because it aligns learning with real workflows. The findings support the use of workflow-embedded guidance to improve usability in context and user confidence during onboarding, while also indicating the need for stronger healthcare-specific, outcome-based evaluations of DAP-enabled approaches.
