Abstract
A usable instructional system is defined as a system that enables learners to accomplish learning goals or tasks in an effective and efficient way. This paper investigates the usability of Virtual Hospital Round (VHR) prototype, and explores medical students' and professionals' attitudes toward the VHR system. The evaluation of the prototype indicated that students and medical proffesionals liked and valued the program as a useful and enjoyable learning tool. The interface was mostly easy to use. The prototype stimulated learning and clinical reasoning.
