Reliability and construct validation of the Blended Learning Usability Evaluation–Questionnaire with interprofessional clinicians in Canada: a methodological study

To generate Cronbach’s alpha and further mixed methods construct validity evidence for the Blended Learning Usability Evaluation – Questionnaire (BLUE-Q). Forty interprofessional clinicians completed the BLUE-Q after finishing a 3-month long blended learning professional development program. Reliability was assessed with Cronbach’s alpha for each of the three sections of the BLUE-Q and for all quantitative items together. Construct validity was evaluated through the Grand-Guillaume-Perrenoud et al. framework, which consists of three elements: congruence, convergence, and credibility. To compare quantitative and qualitative results, descriptive statistics, including means and standard deviations for each Likert scale item of the BLUE-Q were calculated.
