Supply and demand
Shift demand and predict the new price.
Keep a dose in the safe range
Choose the timing, see the result. (Fictional drug.)
Try it
Takes about 1 minute. Fictional drug, for illustration only.
The problem
Students learn dosing rules as facts, without seeing why timing matters.
Who it's for
Nursing and pharmacology programs
Before and after
See how we make a difference
Before
As it usually is
- A table of dosing intervals to learn.
- A lecture slide with one example curve.
After
Redesigned
- Change 1: Students choose how often to give the dose.
- Change 2: The level over a day is drawn against a safe range.
- Change 3: Too often and too rarely are both shown.
- Reason for change 1: Seeing both wrong answers makes the right one make sense.
- Reason for change 2: The safe range is labeled in words, not only color.
- Reason for change 3: A fictional drug keeps the focus on the idea, not the numbers.
How we'd build this for you
A simulation where it is safe to get it wrong
This activity is one example of a pattern that works in almost any subject. Here's how the same idea could look in yours.
- Paramedic sciencePace chest compressions and keep them in the target range.
- OperationsSet reorder points and keep stock between too little and too much.
- AgricultureChoose a watering schedule and keep soil moisture in range.
- Building servicesTime a heating system and keep a building comfortable all day.
- Personal financeChoose when to top up savings and keep the balance above zero.
We build it with your subject experts and your own examples, in your learning platform. Every piece works on phones, by keyboard and with screen readers.
