The Blue Mango Learning System
Welcome to the Blue Mango Learning System Blog. Here we will be posting ideas on e-learning in general as well as how it can be applied specifically in the Ultrasound industry.
The Medical Ultrasound industry faces some educational challenges now as 3D/4D ultrasound is becoming more and more prevalent in the marketplace. Manufacturers are finding the 3D/4D capapbilities of their ultrasound machines are moving far beyond the understanding of customers and even their own employees.
The Blue Mango Learning System was built from the ground up to meet the needs of the Ultrasound industry. We not only developed technology for developing and deploying educational material extremely quickly but we designed an entirely new model for designing the educational framework.
Our system is built for people who:
• Want to spend as little time as possible getting up and running on a machine
• Want to get the most value (utilization) out of their machine
• Have low attention spans (actually all of us do - I have heard that the average attention span is between 15-18 min.)
• Would rather be shown than told
• Need not only a training tool but a reference tool (how can we be expected to remember everything we were taught in a training session?)
In future posts we will explain how address these issues. Please send us your comments or post them here.
