Abstract

This paper describes a systematic and multidisciplinary approach to developing evidence-based standards and guidelines of user interface design for mobile survey instruments. The approach includes five major components: project team, systematic literature review, mobile user model, standards development, and guidelines development. A multidisciplinary project team was assembled to ensure adequate human resources. Systematic literature reviews were conducted on mobile user interface design and on mobile survey instrument design. Based on the results from the reviews, decisions were made to develop standards for basic mobile user interface elements and guidelines for mobile survey instrument user interface. Methodologies for developing the standards and guidelines were described in the paper. This approach emphasizes the importance of systems engineering principles, multidisciplinary collaboration, methodological rigor, and practical problem-solving.
