About the Project:
Overview: The Pulmonis Learning Project is an advanced educational initiative aimed at supporting respiratory therapy students as they prepare for their board examinations.
Analysis: Data has highlighted a consistent trend where a significant number of students miss the passing threshold by a narrow margin of 15 points or less.
In response to this challenge, a comprehensive series of modules were created based on the exam matrix. This solution was crafted to address the specific need for efficient and effective study aids that cater to students at risk of falling just short of the passing score.
This video reviews two common modes of ventilation: BiPAP and CPAP.
Design: The solution comprises three key components: an eLearning module with knowledge checks, and an Essentials Recap video.
1. eLearning Module: LINK BELOW
The eLearning module is the core of our solution, designed to be an interactive and self-paced online learning experience. The content is structured around one of the most critical topics, BiPAP and CPAP, distilled from the areas where students commonly lose points.
2. Knowledge Checks:
To reinforce learning and ensure retention, the module includes periodic knowledge checks. These checks are strategically placed after each key concept to provide immediate feedback and are styled similarly to board exam questions. They serve both as a learning tool and as a gauge for the student's understanding of the material.
3. Essentials Recap Video: THIS VIDEO
Recognizing the time constraints faced by students, particularly those approaching their exam dates, we developed an Essentials Recap video. This high-impact video is a concise summary of the most crucial Oxygen Therapy concepts, designed for rapid review. It presents the must-know information in a clear and memorable format, allowing for quick recall during exams.
Development: This video was developed with DaVinci Resolve.
The audio was created with MicMonster.
A company style guide was followed.
Pictures were found in Canva.
The video was iterated with both peer and SME feedback.
Implementation and Accessibility: The solution was implemented through a user-friendly learning management system (LMS) that is accessible on multiple devices, enabling students to study BiPAP and CPAP anytime, anywhere. The design follows universal design principles to cater to a diverse range of learning preferences and needs.
Evaluation: The eLearning support lesson and video has been tested with a group of students, showing promising results in bridging the knowledge gap. Students have reported increased confidence in the topic of BiPAP and CPAP, and preliminary program data indicates an improvement in scores that surpasses the previous 15-point deficit. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, especially regarding the Essentials Recap video, which many found to be an invaluable last-minute study tool.
Conclusion: The BiPAP and CPAP video lesson is a testament to the power of targeted, well-designed instructional materials in improving educational outcomes. By providing flexible, focused, and engaging learning resources, we are empowering medical students to achieve success on their board exams and beyond.
