Development and Acceptability of E-Tech Mobile Application

Abstract

Educational leaders made the decision to adopt the new normal in education in response to the widespread COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of the study was to create an E-Tech mobile application and assess its acceptability using standards specified in ISO 25010: 2011. This study utilized the developmental method of research. The data needed were gathered with the use of an evaluation sheet to evaluate the level of acceptability of the mobile application in terms of functional suitability, performance efficiency, compatibility, usability, reliability, security, maintainability, and portability. The E-Tech mobile application is a learner-centered app intended to deliver the services of DepEd to its clients anytime and anywhere. The users of the product served as the respondents of the study. Based on the results, the registration, log-in and log-out, viewing module, download/storage, assignment, notes, and learners list features are all present and functioning features of the mobile application. Furthermore, when all the 22 expert respondents and 20 ICT teachers were taken as a whole group, they evaluated the level of acceptability of the mobile application as very acceptable. Likewise, they evaluated the level of acceptability of the E-Tech mobile application as very acceptable in terms of functional suitability, performance efficiency, reliability, usability, compatibility, security, maintainability, and portability.
