- [00:00:03.509]This is Alex Trout, a research professor at
- [00:00:05.743]the University of Nebraska Lincoln's Academy for Child and
- [00:00:08.728]Family Well Being.
- [00:00:10.229]Over the past year Alex and her team have been working
- [00:00:12.828]with Trifoia, a learning design company,
- [00:00:15.210]to develop an evaluate an online health literacy
- [00:00:18.903]curriculum called Healthy U.
- [00:00:20.964]Healthy U is an adaptation of the written curriculum,
- [00:00:24.195]"what's Health Got to do with Transition?"
- [00:00:26.761]Originally developed by Janet Hess for the Florida
- [00:00:29.585]Developmental Disabilities Council.
- [00:00:31.832]In the development of Healthy U the UNL team worked
- [00:00:34.980]with the original curriculum developer and curriculum
- [00:00:37.331]specialist Matt Avey at Lincoln Public Schools to enhance
- [00:00:40.813]the health literacy content and to develop an engaging,
- [00:00:44.698]interactive, personalized online learning course for
- [00:00:49.033]transition age students with or at risk of high incidents
- [00:00:52.617]disabilities.
- [00:00:54.061]Funded through a development grant by the Department of
- [00:00:57.190]Education's Institute for Education Sciences,
- [00:00:59.391]Healthy U is designed to educate students about how to
- [00:01:02.023]access, understand, and manage their personal
- [00:01:05.965]healthcare needs and gives them the tools to effectively
- [00:01:10.106]navigate the healthcare system.
- [00:01:12.315]The UNL team and Trifoia work together to develop this
- [00:01:16.435]course, exploring options for the design of the user
- [00:01:19.765]interface and the underlying technology with the goal
- [00:01:23.556]of creating a sustainable and easy to manage solution
- [00:01:27.621]that integrates animated videos and interactive content
- [00:01:30.629]while keeping in mind universal design methods for
- [00:01:34.353]accessibility.
- [00:01:36.038]In the first round of development, the first five lesson
- [00:01:39.882]modules were created, consisting of approximately 80
- [00:01:42.826]minutes of original animated videos and over 30 interactive
- [00:01:46.387]learning activities.
- [00:01:48.227]These modules were then tested and reviewed in fall 2017
- [00:01:51.819]by high school students in Nebraska.
- [00:01:54.383]It's been said that the foundation of the success in life
- [00:01:57.610]is good health.
- [00:01:58.925]For adolescents with or at risk of disabilities,
- [00:02:01.758]too often they graduate unprepared to independently
- [00:02:05.503]manage their healthcare needs or to successfully
- [00:02:08.488]navigate the healthcare system.
- [00:02:10.429]As a result these youths face elevated healthcare costs
- [00:02:14.015]and poorer health outcomes.
- [00:02:16.785]With Healthy U we aim to change this trajectory and
- [00:02:19.748]improve health literacy skills by providing youths
- [00:02:23.407]with the knowledge and confidence necessary to
- [00:02:26.049]manage their healthcare needs and live healthy and
- [00:02:29.119]fulfilling lives.
