Describe the learner.
The learner is a Registered Nurse who is a staff nurse in a hospital. The individual has completed at least 2 years of schooling and passed a licensure exam. This individual has completed basic knowledge of pathophysiology which is adequate to understand acidosis and alkalosis.
Justification:
The usability feedback told me to explain the tool more and to chunk the information. This final I believe does both of these even though my target audience will be more familiar with the content than the usability team. The information is valuable. The training tool presents information to the nurse on the fundamental concepts of interpreting an individual patient’s laboratory values. I revised the tool by using two distinct types of content, a pneumonic and a visual for this learning style. This also employs the repeated aspect of CARP where the information creates perceptual association. The other design elements related to CARP are:
· Contrasted relevant information, with the use of Bold and color.
· Aligned information sequentially.
· Repeated color to emphasize the concept as well as visualized the concept.
· Approximated the content with the boxes denoting like information and chunking the information.
I changed the type to Georgia the book on page 220 says it is “typeface designed for the web”. This final tool is much revised from the original and I believe easier to read than the first revision, repeating the concept with visual, contrasting color and bold, aligning the tool within the picture and within content as well as chunking the information for ease in identification all contribute to an effective tool.

Hi Ann, were we going to meet this week sometime to go over Illustrator? I like your project, I think you made the image very understandable. The revision is very easy to understand. Great work.
