In designing this microlearning module, I focused on breaking down key anatomical planes and directional terms into bite-sized, manageable pieces.

My approach was to combine clarity with interaction, using visual aids and activities that made learning feel less like memorisation and more like exploration.

One of the core elements of this lesson is its interactive anatomical planes tool. By turning the dial, learners can explore different views of the horse and relate theoretical terms to practical anatomy.

Another element of this lesson is the scenario-based ‘putting knowledge into practise’ section. Learners are presented with a real-world scenario where they must apply the anatomical terms they’ve learned to correctly describe specific situations. This hands-on approach helps solidify understanding by challenging learners to use their knowledge in a practical context, which is essential for retaining and effectively using anatomical language.

The design process also involved crafting activities that reinforced these concepts, such as click-through visual diagrams and drag-and-drop quizzes.

With this interactive module, I’ve aimed to make learning about these structures more engaging and accessible.

In this interaction, learners can explore the various tendons and ligaments by clicking on different areas of the limb. Each click highlights a specific structure, while also providing concise information about its origin, insertion, path, and function. These details help learners not just memorise but also understand the interconnected roles these structures play in movement and stability.

By seeing each tendon or ligament light up in relation to its position in the leg, learners can better visualise how injuries or conditions might impact an animal’s mobility.

This project is a heart valve interaction, which is part of an online course for veterinary nurses studying the circulatory system. The goal was to take complex textbook information about the heart and make it more accessible and interesting. So, I created an interactive module featuring a realistic multimedia GIF image of a heart cross-section, complete with clickable markers that provide detailed information.
