Instructional Design

Our content goes through several stages of instructional design, with all drafts checked by contributing medical experts. Our instructional design guidelines are:

1. Organize content based on adult learning theories, presenting background information, when needed, to help patients understand more complex health concepts.
2. Employ illustrations and animations that simplify and reinforce concepts using theories of message design.
3. Ask interactive questions and give feedback to ensure understanding, correct potential misconceptions, and maintain attention through active learning.
4. Engage the patient and keep him/her motivated and engaged through relevant content, interactive questions and multimedia.
5. Embrace patients at all levels of learning and adhere to “Section 508” accessibility guidelines by employing full narration of the text and touchscreen interfaces.
