What is Pump and How it Works.

The types of pumps used in eye surgery
Project Overview and E-learning Solution
The project aims to educate various types of pumps to its customers, specifically focusing on the primary use of peristaltic and venturi pumps in eye operations. Additionally, the VTI pump represents a novel generation of pumps designed for eye surgery. The objective involves explaining the distinctions among these pumps and implementing the new-generation pump for specific cases. To accomplish this, I propose utilizing a scenario-based e-learning environment to the subject matter experts by several reasons supporting its application.
Contextual Learning: Pumps, especially in industries like healthcare, engineering, or manufacturing, are complex concepts. Scenario-based learning places these concepts in real-world situations, making them more relatable and easier to understand for learners.
‍Engagement and Relevance: Scenarios create an engaging learning environment. Learners become active participants, solving problems and making decisions within simulated settings where these pumps are commonly used. This engagement heightens interest and motivation to comprehend the pump mechanisms and their applications.
‍Practical Application: By presenting scenarios from different industries, learners see how these pumps are utilized in various contexts. This not only deepens their understanding of the pump mechanisms but also demonstrates their practical applications in different scenarios.
‍Problem-Solving Skills: Scenario-based learning prompts learners to apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills. They must analyze situations, make decisions, and troubleshoot pump-related issues, enhancing their ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practical situations.
‍Retention and Transfer of Knowledge: Learners tend to remember information better when it's embedded in a story or a practical scenario. This method increases retention and makes it easier for learners to transfer their knowledge to real-life situations.
‍Interactivity and Engagement: Scenarios offer interactive elements such as decision-making challenges, troubleshooting scenarios, or adjusting parameters. This interactivity fosters engagement and active participation, leading to a deeper understanding of pump mechanisms.
‍Personalized Learning: Scenarios can be tailored to different industries or job roles, allowing learners to engage with content that directly relates to their field. This customization enhances the relevance of the learning material.
In the case of peristaltic, Venturi, and VTI pumps, using scenario-based e-learning allows learners to grasp the intricate workings of these pumps within the context of their application. It bridges the gap between theoretical understanding and practical implementation, ensuring a more comprehensive and applicable learning experience for learners across diverse industries.

Action Map

Upon approval of the scenario-based e-learning idea, I initiated work on the action map. Within the scenario, the user's role involves resolving critical cases to determine the suitable pump for each case. Learner will be responsible for the choosing correct pump for each case. Firstly, there are trainings for each pump. After that there are specific cases which learner can apply only one pump to solve successfully the case. The action map is structured into five subtopics.

Storyboard

Upon completion of the action map, the next step involves creating storyboards for each screen. Each storyboard illustrates key actions and scene perspectives. An example of such a storyboard is provided for the 'Choosing the Correct Pump' activity.

Visual Mockups

During media selection, assets from Articulate Storyline 360 and the company's pump images were incorporated into the project. The image quality was enhanced using Adobe Photoshop. Following the manipulation of these assets, the media was prepared for use.

Full Development and Implementation

After finalizing media selection and storyboards, I proceeded to construct the project using the Articulate Storyline 360 tool. I ensured that each screen was designed in line with Mayer's multimedia learning theory and instructional design methods. Every scene was developed based on the storyboard and scenario requirements, with additional customization to address specific scene needs and align with the learning objectives.
Customize Animations:
Action Sequence:
Fluid Loading: The animation shows fluid being loaded into the reservoir.
Roller Movement: Rollers begin to move along the tubing, creating a squeezing action.
Fluid Movement: As the rollers move, the tubing squeezes, propelling the fluid in a controlled and consistent manner.
Visualization of Pressure: A visual representation (pressure gauges) displays the steady pressure maintained during the squeezing action.
On-screen Text and Voiceover: Explains the pumping process, emphasizing how the squeezing action creates a consistent flow of fluids without causing pressure fluctuations.
Customize Feedback:
Correct Pump Selection: Positive Reinforcement
‍Visual Feedback: An animation showing the chosen pump operating smoothly and delivering fluids precisely into the eye.
‍Textual Feedback: "Great job! You've selected the Venturi pump, which maintains precise fluid delivery without causing pressure fluctuations. This ensured a successful and smooth surgery."
Customize Visuals:
‍Different perspectives of the media to show the key features.

Conclusion

I employed scenario-based learning, visual explanations, and interactive elements to simplify complex pump mechanisms. The scenario placed you in realistic situation, bridging theoretical understanding with practical application. The visualizations and animations aimed to provide a vivid understanding of intricate pump operations. Customizing feedback, animations, and visuals was essential to enhance engagement and promote knowledge retention. Tailoring feedback reinforced correct choices and guided improvements, while animations simplified abstract concepts, making pump mechanisms more comprehensible. The scenario where you selected the pump for the critical eye surgery fostered critical thinking and decision-making skills. Your engagement in choosing the appropriate pump showcased your ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practical contexts, a crucial skill in real-world scenarios.
