About those interactive animations…
Thoughtful User Interaction
• Interaction should be purposeful - part of the
learning process.
• Example animation: selecting virus/antibody
levels and then seeing the results…
The Library
• A “Site Map” style database will be accessible
through the bookcase in the doctor’s office.
• Key terms will be hyperlinked to the program’s
explanatory info-bubbles or web pages. The web
pages will be specified by an editable text file.
• A “search” will be provided for those with specific
information needs.
Questions
• Because this is an exploratory resource, we’re
unsure whether evaluation of learning is
necessary.
• Program all within Director or combination of
Shockwave/HTML
