At Clover Learning, we aim to provide exceptional content using the best instructional methods and technology. To ensure this quality, we launched a radiography initiative in the Fall of 2022 that involved the review of all our learning content within RadTechBootCamp. We evaluated and revised content based on best practices, accuracy, and the use of professional animations.
The following will provide more information on the changes that have been made within RadTechBootCamp.
Phase II: Launch date the week of February 20, 2023 (the roll out will take place gradually over the course of the week).
Summary of changes:
- Scope: Three courses - Radiography Image Production, Digital Radiography, Radiography Image Evaluation and Quality Control
- Lessons:
- All videos within the courses listed above have been updated with revised scripting, design and animation.
- 3 original lessons will be removed.
- 11 lessons renamed.
- 14 completely new lessons.
- Quizzes: Quizzes are updated to better reflect best assessment practices and more clearly connect the concepts in the video to questions. All lesson quizzes will have ten (10) questions each.
- Modules: There is one new module and post module assessment, Imaging Informatics, within the Fundamentals of Digital Radiography course. Also, a post module assessment has been added to Quality Control.
- Pulse Reporting:
- After the week of February 20th, results for quizzes in Pulse will reflect both the original quiz and the updated version. All scores will remain accessible through Pulse.
- If a lesson marked complete is removed and replaced, the new lesson will not be considered complete. This will be reflected in Learn and Pulse.
- If a lesson is simply removed, any historic information regarding that lessons such as its completion will also be removed from Pulse.
Please see tables below for further details on lesson changes.
