This study focuses on a mobile application designed, developed, and evaluated using design science research approach in developing VirTEd mobile learning application for tourism education in the context of higher education in Indonesia. VirTEd facilitates tourism education learning process through mobile devices. This application supports learning that can be accessed anywhere. In fact, this application provides interactive learning media with 360-degree video views. The first part of this paper describes the analysis, design, and implementation of activities in relation to the development of VirTEd. Later on, this paper discusses the characteristics and scope of VirTEd's adherence to the nature and ideas of design science research. To evaluate VirTEd in a real study, an experiment was conducted with 100 second year undergraduate students at a university in Indonesia. This study evaluates the feasibility, effectiveness, and ability of VirTEd in tourism education. Usability testing on the VirTEd application was done to assess the capabilities of the VirTEd application. One of the Usability measurement tools is USE Questionnaire highlighting three main parameters; usefulness, satisfaction and ease of use. The results of this study indicated that the VirTEd application can be considered user friendly in tourism learning based on the results of the Usability Testing. This research study offers suggestions on how to implement mobile learning that supports learning in tourism education curriculum. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University
