The impact of relevance, aesthetics and enjoyment on iPad training

Road safety training is a critical subject which impacts both individuals and society at large. In this study, we designed and implemented a mobile road safety training program in iPads. We aim to examine whether content and interface design impacts both the usability and usefulness of the iPad road safety training program, and in turn, how user iPad experience influences learning. One hundred and eight-two motorcyclists were recruited when they took the road safety training on site. A questionnaire was designed to collect data. The study results indicate that both users' perceptions of information relevance and iPad interface aesthetics significantly impact perceived usability and usefulness, and thus positively affect user training outcomes.
