Sample Cards Number Card Name Card Picture Card Function Card Back of card Design Process I started by considering my audience and their needs. Veterinary students are repeatedly overwhelmed with facts to memorize. All students regardless of their career track must know the critical facts. Years later, students use their knowledge to solve diagnostic challenges. Some facts, such as the list of cranial nerves, are never retained in long-term memory.
Neurology is a difficult subject and requires the memorization of vocubulary and complex processes.
Initially, I considered putting the cranial nerve number value on each card, but this would allow learners to play without learning the content. I thought the game was too hard. I tested the prototype with a veterinary technician, Lynne. I tested the prototype with a solitaire addict, Jimmie, who lacked medical knowledge. She thought it would be good, when you first start, to have someone around who knew the information.
