Meeting with Dr Gominda

Met Dr Gominda for the 2nd time again. We had an detailed chat. Some highlights:

• The target remains to make pilot a learning management system for senior nurses in the private sector
• We agreed that perhaps system design would be more important than the content itself in an IT project but you suggested I check with someone higher up before coming to this conclusion and especially before the presentation. I shall do so with Dr Vajira.
• The existing curriculum of the available refresher course:
  
• It has both system and topic based content
• Not very clear to just follow what has been given
• Far better to create system wise topics inside the framework of the present curriculum and show to you. I shall do so before Thursday evening Sir.
• I thought to start with the Respiratory System.
• LMS System Design:
• Each system will have disease (modules)
  
• Each disease will have lessons
• Each lesson will have sections
• Each section can comprise of the following
• Instructional material designed by me with guidance from WI nursing sisters to avoid going above/below the required scope
• Use of Web 2.0 features to highlight interactivity in system design
• Hover over images where relevant to the text
• Sound clips (e.g. rhonchi) where appropriate in the lesson
• Pictures
• Instructional video
• How much to do
• If system design is more important and we can showcase everything then its better to do one system like the respiratory system which is also quite a bit of work
• If content is more important then more system modules may have to be added.

Time to meet Dr Vajira and get this thing sorted out. First I have to design a system module and see. I need to divide into text lessons, audio, video and gauge the numbers before approaching anybody.
