So today was the first opportunity to show off what we have completed so far in our learning resources and get feedback to help us as we move forward with our project. This made me realise something that I think in the last sort of week I had put to the back of my mind and kind of forgotten, our learning resource actually has to be as factually correct as possible and actually teach something correctly.
Well duh, I can hear you all shout at your computer screens, obviously this was the point of this project. But let me explain why this, not so small detail, had managed to slip my mind.
ART
Bluh, ever since school I have never enjoyed the subject, I have never had any interest in it and just wanted the class to end as soon as I walked in. I mean how can you teach somebody to be better at art? Sure you can help improve somebody's technique or show them new skills, but I personally feel there has to already be something there to actually work with, and if you don't have that, well that's just it.

So the creative side of this project has been quite daunting and I think up until now I have been so engrossed in the visual aspect of my learning resource that I have neglected the main body and key function of it...to impart knowledge onto other students.
It was today as I was presenting my progress so far that this finally hit me it was mentioned that in some cases the order for visiting patients may not be as simple as I had originally planned, as in certain circumstances patients took priority over others which I had not totally factored into my scenario. The point was also made that if I did just continue the way I was going I would need some form of explanation as to why you were seeing this patient over another patient.
So today after my first showing to the group I have decided that I am going to take a step back from the creative side and try to have some form of storyline created in order to be able to look at the facts and be able to make the most informative tutorial I can, that hopefully kind of looks good too...
