Learning Theories Module
Tool(s) used: Articulate Rise 360
The purpose of this learning module is to increase the learner’s understanding on various learning theories. The learner will be presented with information that will give them the ability to understand what each learning theory is and its benefits, the history behind it, examples of the theory being put into practice, and then they will have a knowledge check at the end. The knowledge check includes a mix of questions that could include multiple choice, matching, multiple response, and true or false.
Each lesson in the module has a consistent layout to not create cognitive overload for the learner. The colors of this module are intended to support accessibility. Below you will see contents of the landing page for the module with an overview of the content along with the first lesson (Cognitive Learning Theory) and one question from its knowledge check.
Asynchronous Vital Signs Learning Module
Tool(s) used: Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Audition, Canvas, Canva, Google Forms, Flip
This eLearning module was designed in my capstone course during my instructional design program. The purpose of this module was to give aspiring medical professionals the ability to learn how to accurately take vital signs. Major decisions and preventative measures can be taken after assessing patient vital signs, many that can later save a patients life.
The images below come from lesson 5, oxygen saturation, in the module.
The overview was designed to give the learner an idea of what to expect throughout the lesson.
The objectives were written in a clear manner that would allow the learner to assess what they should be able to do by the end of the lesson.
As the learner makes progress in lesson 5, they get to a reading that incorporates multiple, credible sources and a discussion post related to the reading.
The discussion post allows the learner to engage directly with their peers.
They can then view the tutorial on taking oxygen saturation and the infographic that outlines key points for taking accurate measurements.
The Flip assignment gives them the chance to model what they learned on how to measure oxygen saturation with 100% accuracy and get feedback from their peers
The assessment at the end is aligned with the learning objectives.
The lesson ends with an interactive checklist (Google Form) that gives the learner the chance to assess whether they completed everything that they needed to do prior to moving on to the next lesson.
