CLIENT ASK
DCC a long-time provider of nutritional information and lessons to health care providers, teachers and schools nationwide wanted to take a new approach in providing lessons. The goal was to create an online interactive lesson aimed at high school students. To engage students, the online experience needed interactive games, videos, black-line masters, and resources. To make it easy for teachers to teach, assessments needed to be automatically graded and recorded in in an online class list. Technical requirements included:
- The entire curriculum needed to be editable by non-technical users leveraging the existing DNN CMS.
- Authentication needed to be tied into the existing CRM which includes most California teachers and many out-of-state instructors nationwide.
- The courses needed to work on mobile devices cause pretty much all students have phones.
REAL RESULTS
The Dairy Council of CA teamed with long-time development partner, 2Plus2 Partners, to build the online course module. The result is a free online five lesson interactive program. Fully supported on any device, this program teaches and reinforces lifelong skills for a healthier lifestyle. Teachers set up their own classes and the application generates student logins for distribution.
Formative testing of the Eat Move Win program took place last Fall and included 873 high school students across California who completed the program. Sophomores made up the largest majority of the participants at more than 60%. Average test scores among students were 77% and higher and comments were relevant and positive. More than 80% of respondents plan to add fruits and vegetables to their diet. Yup, you heard it right, teenagers are going to eat more fruits and vegetables!
