Area of Science:

Educational Technology
Teacher Professional Development
Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

High-quality professional development is crucial for teachers to implement evidence-based practices like classroom physical activity breaks.
Virtual asynchronous training offers a flexible alternative to in-person professional development, but design and usability can be limiting factors.

Purpose of the Study:

To conduct a usability assessment of the Interrupting Prolonged Sitting with Activity (InPACT) virtual teacher training modules.
To apply a human-centered design (HCD) approach to align training with end-user preferences and needs.

Main Methods:

A usability assessment of the nine InPACT virtual modules was conducted.
Methods included online surveys with teachers, heuristic evaluation using Nielsen's heuristics, and competitive analysis of learning management systems.

Main Results:

Teachers found the modules easy to use and relevant, but suggested improvements in content engagement and technical flexibility.
Heuristic evaluation identified 14 usability issues, and competitive analysis revealed features enhancing user experience.

Conclusions:

Human-centered design assessments can improve virtual teacher training for evidence-based practices.
Recommendations include enhancing engagement, technical flexibility, and user interface elements for better training outcomes.
