The Moodle eLearning Chatbot App was developed to support community health workers, case managers, and other front-line health workers to provide them with critical knowledge and skills, building through an accessible and familiar app in their context, in most cases WhatsApp. The application has gone through multiple rounds of field testing with end users to ensure that it meets the usability requirements for its adoption.
