This week David Anderson challenged us to present a bit of medical training. Good thing this e-learning doctor is “in”.
A Quick-Reference App
I liked the idea of addressing something relatively simple – like a bee sting – and if you need that kind of info you want it quickly and on-the-go.
I kept picturing something app-like that would work well on my iPhone, so that’s where the screen size, orientation, and much of the navigation came from.
Speeding Things Up
I’d originally pictured more animations and transitions, but chose to let you get to the information more quickly rather than waste time waiting for extras like that. You’ll notice there’s even a “Skip Intro” option so you can go straight to the remedies.
The Content
All of the how-to images and written information came from Wiki How’s How to Treat a Bee Sting. In my demo I give credit and link to their post in the main menu.
I made all of the pictographs for the intro by creating shapes in PowerPoint and saving them as PNGs that I brought into Storyline as pictures, with a few added shapes I created right in Storyline.
My Bee
The Result
You’re welcome to try it out and enjoy my pictogram bee, too! He didn’t mean to do anything wrong. He’s just an innocent guy putting in a hard day’s work among the flowers.
This works great on my iPhone, by the way. I’m very happy (appy?) with it. I hope you like it, too!
Nice way to make an engaging and truly informational eLearning/Quick Reference. Would be nice to add the Storyboard (word document) as a hand out. Thank you Jackie!
Thanks, Andrea – I’m glad you like it! I didn’t do a storyboard for this one – but maybe you mean a handout would be helpful as part of a real-life training?
Good example of Just In Time learning. It demonstrates the value of Electronic Performance Support in an easy to understand manner.
I’m glad you liked it, Steve! I think performance support is our future and the field’s wide open to make it as innovative, creative, and clever as we’d like in order to meet performance needs. Thanks for stopping by! :)
