The challenge I would like to tackle is to create an online set of videos for medical students to learn  about any topic (e.g. anatomy, biochemistry, etc.). This challenge also involves recruiting the  appropriate instructors, curating, and creating the right content and using appropriate E-learning  modalities to deliver the sessions.

I will be using a variety of tools to design this course:

1. Visualization: By drawing out a road map and drawing sketches of the user interface, the

instructors and I can share how we want the E-course to flow and how we want the content to  be presented to the user.  Insight: This can allow us to get an idea of what everyone in the group is thinking about and  build on those ideas.  This also allows us to see any discrepancies or errors in our thinking and  correct them before we move to the final stages of our plan.

2. Storytelling: We aim to use story telling as a tool to engage our audience and involve them in a

narrative so that they do not lose interest. The roadmap designed earlier can be made into a fun  story, and we can even include case studies in our course to take the user through a single case  from start to finish to understand why the material taught is important.

3. Learning launch: Finally, we test our idea. We start small and introduce a few sessions and gain

feedback both from the software and the users. Based on the feedback, we tailor our newer  courses to better accommodate to the needs of the students.  Insight: This allows for a continuous loop of feedback from our users and prevent us from  straying too far on the wrong track at an early stage of the development.    What might be done differently next time?    Currently, university professors are not incentivized to produce online content of high quality  and that can be used for many years. Also, a lot of medical professors are also doctors and lack  the time to create such content. Thus, in addition to good educators we also need good  designers and software designers to help deliver quality content. We might even implement the  tool of mind mapping to analyze our problems and solutions and innovate in those areas. We  also need to provide more incentives to the content creators to motivate them to continue their  work.
