Case Study
Effective Multimedia Course With Interactive Scenarios
 Mixing learning with play has come to become one of the best ways of imparting knowledge. Using this very same philosophy‚ recently‚ we helped Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology‚ Inc. (APIC)‚ a leader in infection prevention and control‚ to create a course showcasing the role that the healthcare workers needed to play in the prevention and transmission of infections in both inpatient and outpatient hemodialysis settings.
Divided into two main modes - ‘Learn’ and ‘Play’‚ the course consists of content presented directly through text‚ graphics and images along with real-life scenarios with interactivities that make the course truly engaging. Further‚ each of these scenarios is timed and scored individually‚ and is designed to be equivalent of a mini-game. |
