Diabetic Retinopathy

Instructional Design
Project Overview
The company assigned me the task of detailing every aspect of diabetic retinopathy, encompassing three main chapters: Clinical Overview, Treatment Stages, and Sharing Experience. All the pertinent materials were provided by subject matter experts. In my role as an instructional designer, I developed an e-learning module on this topic using the Articulate Storyline 360 tool.
 Courseware Identification
Target of Audience: Intermediate level of Learners
Subject: Diabetic Retinopathy
Instructional Objectives:
Learners will be able to comprehend the clinical aspects ofdiabetic retinopathy, including its risk factors, symptoms, and diagnosticprocedures.
Learners will be able to differentiate between various treatmentmodalities for diabetic retinopathy, understanding the stages, procedures, andimplications of each treatment option.
Learners will be able to appreciate the impact of diabeticretinopathy on patients' lives by exploring real-life experiences,testimonials, and coping strategies shared by individuals affected by thecondition.
Tool Used: Articulate Storyline 360, Adobe Photoshop

Action Map

To ensure effective collaboration with subject matter experts, I constructed a comprehensive action map for the project, which I then shared with the SMEs to provide a visual representation of my work.
According to SMES direction for the e-learning, I created storyboards for each scene. I explained needs of the scene and scene itself.

Full Development

1) Custom Animation:
Introduction Animation:
An engaging animated sequence illustrating the eye and blood vessels, morphing into a depiction of retinal damage caused by diabetes, introducing the topic visually.
Interactive Animation for Disease Progression:Custom animations showcasing the progression of retinal damage from early stages (mild non-proliferative) to advanced stages (proliferative), enabling learners to visualize the impact of diabetic retinopathy.
Treatment Modalities Animation:Animated sequences demonstrating how different treatments (medication, laser therapy, surgery) interact with retinal tissues, explaining their mechanisms effectively.

2) Custom Visuals:
Infographics and Visual Diagrams:
Custom-designed infographics illustrating risk factors, symptoms, and diagnostic procedures, aiding in clear and concise information delivery.
Retinal Imaging Visuals:Custom-created visuals showcasing retinal scans, fundoscopic examinations, and diagnostic imaging methods, allowing learners to familiarize themselves with diagnostic procedures.
Scenario-Based Visuals:Realistic illustrations representing scenarios of individuals managing diabetic retinopathy, providing relatable visuals to enhance understanding.

3) Prescriptive Feedback - Mentor:
Personalized Feedback Simulation:
Utilizing branching scenarios within Articulate 360 to simulate a mentor-student interaction.Learners engage in scenarios where they make diagnostic or treatment decisions, receiving personalized feedback from a virtual mentor based on their choices.
Diagnostic Decision Support:Prescriptive feedback offering insights into diagnostic choices made by learners, guiding them on the rationale behind optimal diagnostic procedures or treatment plans.
Interactive Quizzes with Feedback:Quizzes integrated within the course, providing instant feedback based on learner responses, guiding them toward correct answers and explaining misconceptions..
