    Hi Emily, A few thoughts/ideas that I have used for healthcare courses I have done to achieve objectives.

    • Storytelling and scenario blocks are great, except for the limited character count, which can be frustrating. This link has a character count cheat sheet attached.   https://endurancelearning.com/blog/rise-character-counts/
    • Case Studies - user input and decision making, process
    • Sorting blocks

      (if mobiles are on the menu - note, SL blocks are not responsive among a few other things to look out for)

    • Videos
    • Podcasts

    Space
    Dog Care Basics
    The Rise Templates are also worth taking a look at for ideas/inspiration.Rise Templates

     

    Another element I added, to keep a large project of healthcare courses fresh, engaging and to bolster information retention, was to incorporate some minimal graphic design to create flow, grab attention, remind, show process, tie key points together and chunk material...
