Supply and demand
A heatwave hits Lahore. Predict the new price of air coolers.
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 pharmacy programmes
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 to a patient on the ward.
- 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 labelled in words, not only colour.
- Reason for change 3: A fictional drug keeps the focus on the idea, not the numbers.
In person
Using this in a workshop
In a skills lab, students predict the right interval for the patient on the ward chart, then test it. Afterwards, the link becomes revision before the next practical.
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.
- Emergency carePace 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.
- EnergyPlan load shedding hours and keep a factory running.
- Personal financeChoose when to top up savings and keep the balance above zero.
We build it with your subject experts and your own examples, for your workshops and your learning platform. Every piece works on phones, by keyboard and with screen readers.
