For the last five years, East Tennessee State University’s Department of Digital Media has partnered with the East Tennessee Children’s Hospital in downtown Knoxville to create a collection of training modules for their nursing staff. Dozens of students have devoted thousands of hours both inside and outside of the department’s various production courses to build the eleven modules currently in use today. However, development has not been without its hurdles, particularly in moving from one project to the next. Poor documentation and miscommunications compounded with faults in the projects’ design philosophies to repeatedly delay production. While each deliverable was playable by the end of the given semesters, there were often bugs and other quality issues left unaddressed. Luckily, graduate assistants and interns were brought on to help direct students in class, and to finish the projects on off-semesters. As one of those graduate assistants, I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Stephanie Nicely, our project manager and hospital liaison to build on the works of past developers, assist in managing the development of current projects, and lay groundwork for future growth.
