Learning through case solving, which is at the core of Nobula Case Creator, is not a novelty in education.
The idea is based on problem-based learning (PBL) and case-based learning (CBL), which dates back to the late 1960s in medicine. The McMaster University in Canada was the first to use PBL as an approach to medical education focused on students. Of course, the functionalities were not even close to those of Nobula Case Creator.
Furthermore, the inspiration for creating Nobula Case Creator did not come only from the academic world. The legendary Dr. House was also a source of inspiration. In this cult TV show, Dr. House’s team gathers information about the patient and symptoms and conducts various tests to obtain as much information as possible about the patient’s health status. As part of this process, Dr. House and his team ask the patient and his collaborators questions to obtain as much information as possible about the possible causes of the symptoms. Then, the team discusses all the information and symptoms to reach a diagnosis. To succeed in this, diagnostic skills and experience are crucial.
This dynamic way of arriving at a solution is one of the goals of Nobula Case Creator, that users apply their knowledge in practice in an innovative way.
Sunčana Orešić presented a detailed story about our idea at the MedRi 2023 conference:
Nobula Interactive Case has become Nobula Case Creator!
The new name better reflects the main function of the application, which is creating educational cases. The name change also emphasizes the innovation and adaptability of the tool. The main features of Nobula Case Creator are:
This online learning tool allows you to create interactive cases that can be shared via a simple link. Therefore, no installation of an application or software is needed. Depending on your preferences, you can create education from your field of interest. Thanks to the possibility of integrating different multimedia content, your case can contain videos, photos, and audio files. When you learn all the functionalities for creating a case, all that remains is for you to be creative.
In less than 40 minutes of education, you can learn how to create a case in Nobula Case Creator. There is no need for programming knowledge, and the process of creating a case is intuitive and straightforward. Learn more about it in our tutorials.
The content part of Nobula Case Creator includes educational materials through various forms of multimedia. The interactive part is crucial for encouraging motivation and interest. Thanks to gamification elements, education becomes like a favorite game. Users go through cases within a certain time frame and get points for each correct answer, while points are deducted for incorrect answers.
It should be emphasized that we continuously develop Nobula Case Creator and are committed to building recognition as an innovative tool that makes learning an exciting experience that will inspire you to continue advancing!
