Educational Effectiveness & Accessibility
X-Plain® relies on learning theories and a thorough development process to ensure educationally effective materials. We present any background information needed in plain language to help patients understand complex health concepts. Our programs include full narration.
Illustrations and animations reinforce the written and narrated text. The combination of visual and auditory modes of communication reaches users of all literacy levels, as well as those with disabilities, such as hearing and visual impairments.
X-Plain’s tutorials maximize learning in a unique way – through interactive questions and feedback. By asking questions throughout the learning session, our programs can verify comprehension. The questions and feedback keep the user engaged and reinforce learning.
