INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA CASE BASED TRAINING FOR DYSPHAGIA

该项目将开发一个交互式多媒体光盘方案，为治疗患有吞咽障碍（吞咽困难）的成人的保健服务专业人员提供培训。主要受众是评估和治疗吞咽困难患者的专业团队。该计划将有三个主要目的：(1)为学生提供语言病理学、护理、医学、职业治疗和营养方面的职前培训；（二）为执业专业人员提供培训和资源；(3)向医院和卫生保健机构的支持人员、吞咽困难患者和患者家属提供信息。七个具体目标包括：1)最终确定培训计划的能力，2)基于案例研究设计设计架构，3)为该计划的燕子和评估与治疗部分创建多媒体组件，4)为案例研究部分开发八个案例研究，3)将组件组合成交互式多媒体程序，6)评估程序的可用性和教学有效性，7)制定商业分发计划。这个项目将减少课堂教学和临床培训之间的差距。内容将涵盖正常成人吞咽的解剖学和生理学，吞咽的阶段和相关疾病，吞咽困难的病因，评估程序和治疗方法。内容将通过音频解说、文本、3d模型、动画、QuickTime VR、视频剪辑和照片提供。学习将通过使用模拟、定期能力检查和基于决策的分支来加强。交互式的多媒体演示格式将允许学习者与评估和处理数据进行交互，以做出决策和解决问题。嵌入式性能测量将允许学习者在一个安全的环境中练习，并收到纠正反馈。建议的商业应用：交互式多媒体课程的商业应用包括：1)成为大学语言病理学、护理、职业治疗、营养学和医学领域学生吞咽困难课程的重要组成部分；（二）对上述行业执业专业人员进行在职培训的独立教学单位；3)医院、诊所和养老院工作人员培训的重要资源；4)作为吞咽困难患者及其家属在医院患者教育项目中的信息来源。

This project will develop an interactive multimedia CD-ROM program to provide training to health service professionals working with adults with swallowing disorders (dysphagia). The primary audience is the team of professionals who assess and treat patients with dysphagia. This program will serve three major purposes: (l) provide pre-service training for students in speech-language pathology, nursing, medicine, occupational therapy, and nutrition; (2) provide training and resources to practicing professionals; and, (3) provide information to hospital and health care facility support personnel, patients with dysphagia, and patient family members. Seven specific objectives include: l) finalize the competencies for the training program, 2) design the architecture based on a case-study design, 3) create multimedia components for The Swallow and Assessment & Treatment sections of the program, 4) develop eight case studies for the Case Study section, 3) combine components into an interactive multimedia program, 6) evaluate the program for usability and instructional effectiveness, and 7) develop a plan for commercial distribution. This program will reduce the gap between classroom instruction and clinical training. Content will cover the anatomy and physiology of normal adult swallowing, the phases of swallowing and related disorders, the etiologies of dysphagia, assessment procedures, and treatment approaches. Content will be provided through audio narration, text, 3-D models, animation, QuickTime VR, video clips and photographs. Learning will be reinforced through the use of simulation, periodic competency checking, and decision-based branching. Interactive, multimedia presentation format will allow the learner to interact with assessment and treatment data to make decisions and solve problems. Embedded performance measures will allow the earner to practice in a safe environment and receive corrective feedback. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: Commercial applications for the interactive multimedia program include: l) an essential component of dysphagia curriculum in university training programs for students in speech-language pathology, nursing, occupational therapy, dietetics and nutrition, and medical fields; 2) a stand-alone unit of instruction for inservice training of practicing professionals in the above- mentioned professions; 3) an important resource for staff training in hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes; and 4) an information source for patients with dysphagia and family members in hospital patient education programs.
