Online Health Education

Online education poses many benefits, yet it lacks the human connection. To overcome this, digital lectures need high-quality visuals and interactive elements to engage the audience.

Challenge

Create didactic scientific and anatomical images to augment online lectures and increase audience engagement

In 2016, Queen's University implemented the fully-online Bachelor of Health Sciences program that allows people without access to a university (ie. lacking funds, geographic location, etc.) to get a degree. In its second year, I joined as a Medical Illustrator; during this role I experienced first-hand how digital solutions can solve real-world problems. I developed didactic images and designs for a variety of courses. These images were used in online interactive modules to facilitate learning. Being the first designer on the team with a degree in the sciences allowed an increase in communication efficiency and production time—showing the value of a biomedical communicator.
