Redesigned educational programs

24 March 2006

The range of Multi-ed educational programs have been redesigned from the ground up. The new interface is now online enabled so users can login and view the rich content from any computer linked to the internet using their unique username and password. A cd-rom is no longer necessary but is still available upon request.

New features

Online enabled: viewable on the internet through any browser, on any PC, laptops and Apple Macs.
Can be installed on individual PCs or on a network of PCs or intranet.
Small file sizes means fast download speed (less chance of a playback delay over the internet). Far less room is also taken up on the hard drive should you wish to install the program from a cd-rom.
Accessible interface: keyboard shortcuts and arrow key navigation is available for convenience and people with impaired mobility.
Larger buttons make it easier to navigate and makes the program ready to be used in touch-screen kiosks.

Other features

Interactive education using animated diagrams and pictures with subtitles and voice-over.
Guidelines – the programs for health care professionals incorporate the NSF, NICE and European Guidelines.
Leaflets – the user can read and print out pdf quality leaflets.
Toolkit – designed especially with the practice nurse in mind.
Audit Trail – provides the ability to audit the education that has been delivered. A record of which animations have been viewed can also be printed out.
Web links – extarnal online resources and website links are provided in one convenient location.
Drawing tool in health care professionals’ programs: each animation can be paused – turning the cursor icon into a pen tool. This allows the health care professional the ability to add their own input to a particular part of the education by drawing on top of the on-screen diagrams and pictures.
