Course Features and Design Enhancements
Following consultations with SWLSTG stakeholders, escalla developed a structured, modular e-Learning programme designed to meet clinical and regulatory requirements while maximising engagement and learning retention.
- Day One Readiness: Modules covered essential RiO tasks, inclusing IT security policies, Smartcard usage, and key patient record functionalities.
- Interactive Learning: Incorporation of real-life scenarios, simulations, and contextual information enhanced engagement.
- Modular Structure: Lessons were divided into bite-sized modules, allowing flexibility and future scalability for other staff roles.
- Assessments and Tracking: A dedicated final module included role-based assessments to ensure competency before granting RiO access.
- Future-proofing: The course structure allowed for updates to reflect system changes, maintaining long-term accuracy and usability.
Implementation Process
Following the ADDIE Framework
The project was structured using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) and adopted an AGILE methodology to ensure a smooth transition to digital learning.
1. Analysis
- A scoping meeting was conducted to define objectives, confirm lesson requirements, and align content with Trust training priorities.
- Trainers and clinical leads provided input to ensure content accuracy and compliance with NHS guidelines.
2. Design
- A prototype was developed using Articulate Storyline 360, integrating SWLSTG branding and accessibility standards.
- Key lesson structures were mapped out, focusing on usability and interactive learning.
- Developers received recorded training sessions from the Trust to ensure clinical accuracy in content development.
3. Development
- Screen captures were conducted remotely, with lessons built into a "Try Me" interactive fornat, simulating real RiO processes.
- Content was iteratively reviewed using an online tool, allowing for real-time stakeholder feedback and improvements.
- SCORM Cloud and WCAG accessibility testing ensured compliance and compatibility before deployment.
4. Implementation
- The modules were integrated into SWLSTG's Compass Learning Management System (LMS).
- Students were onboarded with access to self-paced learning, ensuring flexibility in training completion.
5. Evaluation
- Post-launch feedback was gathered from students and trainers to refine content.
- Assessment tracking via LMS provided insights into student engagement and learning outcomes.
