Hi,
I am hoping that someone may be able to help me. I am a medical educator who teaches a distance education course and I was wanting to get a bit more tech savvy and include interactive case studies to help my participants integrate some of the factual knowledge into case-based scenarios to help memory retention etc. The New England Journal of Medicine usues the type of thing I am looking for (though I admit they've probably got a whole team of people and a huge budget). See http://www.nejm.org/multimedia/interactive-medical-case
When you click on the case it doesn't just show a video, but brings up the case scenario in a separate window. You can then click through to each page and answer a series of questions based on how the case presents or the medical data you are given (like a quiz, I guess). Depending on your answer you are then given more information with regards to whether you have the answer correct or not, and then supplied extra information to explain why your answer might be correct or incorrect.
I was wondering if anyone would know what software they would be using to develop these cases (Flash?), or if anyone would know how a similar effect could be achieved using other programs that could be integrated into a web-based format?
Thanks again, and please pardon my ignorance.
