Digital interactive exercises for online and event use

We were asked to produce a presentation slide deck for a conference workshop for pharmacists, dealing with patient treatment pathways and information flow between healthcare professionals.

After careful analysis we concluded that our options are very limied as far as making a traditional slide deck dealing with this topic engaging and interesting. Therefore we explored alternative, more innovative delivery methods, and suggested producing a digital interactive exercise instead. We hoped that this would bring out the "homo ludens" in conference participants by introducing an element of gamification and competition.

We transformed the educational content and developed the application for the workshop. On-site participants received tablets to engage with the game, while remote participants could join online.

Teams - in person and online - competed to complete puzzles dealing with the subject of the workshop. By transforming and gamifying the content we managed to achieve extremely high engagement rates, receiving very high ratings from participants. More importantly, we successfully achieved our goal to provide a useful, effective learning experience that was also fun and memorable.
