学校护士为学童提供常规的正式视力和听力健康检查。然而，在上学期间，护士访问小学教室和进行筛查前教育和指导的时间有限。密苏里州的一群学校护士需要一种适合年龄和节省时间的方法来向儿童介绍和引导筛查当天使用的设备、材料和程序。学校护士与州立大学的健康教育专家合作，根据电子学习计划教育设计的最佳实践，开发了两个电子学习寓教于乐计划（一个用于视力筛查，一个用于听力筛查）。寓教于乐是一种电子学习技术，它使用声音、视频和图片混合了教育和娱乐。寓教于乐是用来吸引学生的注意力，通过一个愉快的计算机为基础的互动，以鼓励专注于课程内容。开发的寓教于乐程序可以由学生在他们学校提供的或个人设备上以他们自己的速度使用，和/或教师可以作为小组活动向全班播放程序模块。
School nurses provide routine formal vision and hearing health screenings to school children. However, time available during the school day for nurses to visit elementary classrooms and conduct pre-screening education and orientation is limited. A group of school nurses in Missouri needed an age-appropriate and time-saving method to introduce and orient children to the equipment, materials, and procedures that will be used on screening day. The school nurses collaborated with a health education specialist at a state university to develop two e-learning edutainment programs (one for vision screening and one for hearing screening) following best practices for educational design of e-learning programs. Edutainment is an e-learning technology that mixes education and entertainment using sound, video, and pictures. Edutainment is used to attract student attention through an enjoyable computer-based interaction to encourage focus on lesson content. The edutainment programs developed can be used by students at their own pace on their school-provided or personal devices, and/or the teacher can play the program module to the entire class as a group activity.
