Customizable learning tools Boiron used the broad spectrum of learning tools each of The Training Arcade®'s games provide
Sort-It: This game has a grid of labels in which the learner must find where each component fits. It is categorized by terms or subjects that the learner can match by memory. The learner relies on their knowledge to organize them correctly, linking elements in the process.
Trivia: Boiron created a very simple and easy-to-build Trivia game with the top 25 questions most pharmacists ask. With this game, they could immediately identify, based on the length of time it took to answer the question and the accuracy, which question was the most challenging. This helped them ensure that the Detective game covered the most challenging topics in more depth.
Detective: This game focuses on decision-making and the in-depth understanding of a situation. Boiron requested to have a customized Detective game to be a consultation as opposed to a police inquiry. The learner gathers clues from the patient’s answers to help deduce the best medication for them. The game instructs learners to select the correct treatment and the reasoning to support their choice. This gives the learner the opportunity to see why they had failed or succeeded with helpful feedback.
