“…The purpose of this paper was to define how user experience can be evaluated for mobile applications websites. This research has assessed the important aspects of culturally appropriate design guidelines and has evaluated a few principles of the mobile application through focus group discussions about Culturally Appropriate Design Principles (CADG) from the users (Ariffin & Dyson, 2015) In general, the capturing of user experience is quite difficult, because there are so many different factors in terms of the user-product interaction. For evaluation, such factors should be clarified and a goal for the test defined in the test plan.…”

The growing popularity of mobile devices, together with the constant technological improvement of mobile websites and applications. However, the particularities of mobile devices require special attention in respect of the usability aspects, such as culture. Therefore, this study evaluated the general usability and cultural aspects in terms of mobile learning for a mobile web system. The research methodology used was focus group discussions with undergraduate students. This research captured the experiences of students in using the MLearn website of Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Malaysia. This study also identified some usability challenges and suggestions for improvement, particularly in terms of culturally appropriate design principles for a local university context for a mobile website. This study affirmed that general usability and cultural principles in design are important for a usable mobile learning website system in a local university context.

“…In addition, the study on mobile applications for the creative industry also stated that there is still less use of cultural design elements in mobile applications today [31]. Furthermore, the study conducted for the scope of mobile learning applications in the Malaysian context also stated that there is still a lack of cultural design elements used in developing the application [32]. This research indicates that the need for cultural design elements is less intensified and leads to a lack of use in developing mobile learning or mobile applications today.…”

This study examined the existing use of cultural design elements in design guidelines for mobile applications. Cultural design elements are used to include cultural values in the development of mobile applications. A review of existing design guidelines was conducted to identify cultural design elements practicality pertaining to the mobile application. The keywords "Application", "Design Guidelines", and "User Interface" were searched on ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, and Scopus between 2017 and 2021, including 2022, with 281 articles before filtering and 3 articles selected after filtering. This review shows that cultural design elements in the mobile application played an important role in getting a high usability rate for user’s use. Although it is an important element, its use is still limited usage in the development of mobile applications. As a result, future research will focus on developing guidelines for mobile applications with cultural design elements appropriate for today's technological era in a local context.

In the creative industries sector, mobile applications are the creative multimedia division for advancing technology, the industry revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0), in developing creative products. The creative industries benefit from the usage of mobile applications since it allows for the digital manufacturing of creative products that meet the IR 4.0 era. However, research on the use of cultural design aspects in mobile applications has several limits. This research aims to talk about the conceptual framework for the research that will be done to tackle the issues that occur. According to preliminary findings, the design concepts analysed a lack of cultural design aspects. Therefore, the researcher will research to generate design guidelines for mobile applications for the creative industries that include cultural design elements.
