Abstract (EN): Background: An asynchronous eLearning system was developed for radiographers in order to promote a better knowledge about senology and mammography. Objectives: to assess the learners' satisfaction. Methods: Target population included radiographers and radiography students, in order to assess eLearning satisfaction according to different experience levels in breast imaging. Satisfaction was measured through a questionnaire developed especially for eLearning systems, using a seven-point Likert scale. Main topics related are content, interface, personalization and learning community. Results: Overall, 85% of learners were satisfied with the course and 87,5% considered that the course is successful. Main areas that were evaluated by most learners in a positive way were interface and content (between six and seven-point); on the other hand, learning community presented a wider distribution of answers. Conclusions: The course provides an overall high degree of learner satisfaction, thus providing more effective knowledge gain on breast imaging for radiographers.
