EdTech Gains Momentum as Interactive Learning Tools Reshape Health Education

As education technology continues to evolve, the spotlight is turning toward tools that not only deliver content but meaningfully engage learners—especially in fields like healthcare, where training quality can have real-life consequences.

Engagement in online learning environments is often hard to maintain, yet its importance goes far beyond keeping learners attentive. In the healthcare sector, poor engagement can translate into unprepared professionals and suboptimal decision-making in high-stakes scenarios. With the global healthcare e-learning market valued at $11.10 billion USD, the way students are trained digitally carries significant weight.

In response to this growing need, interactive learning platform Wooclap is convening a webinar aimed at academic leaders in health education. The event, scheduled for June 17 at 09:30 DST, brings together experts from the University of British Columbia, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, and the College of Coastal Georgia to explore how interactive tools are being used to improve student performance.

The session will address a pressing issue: traditional educational resources like static diagrams and textbook illustrations often fall short in preparing students for clinical practice. These passive learning formats can leave students ill-equipped for real-time decision-making, a critical skill in healthcare settings.

Wooclap’s upcoming webinar aims to offer educators practical strategies to overcome this gap. Attendees will see how rethinking the role of images—from static references to dynamic learning tools—can strengthen visual literacy and clinical reasoning. The approach introduces a shift in pedagogy, where students engage with visual content not just to memorize but to interpret, question, and apply their understanding in simulated scenarios.

The expert panel will include Elizabeth Gregory, Lecturer of Nursing at the College of Coastal Georgia; Sheri Harder, Pediatric Neuroradiologist and Clinical Professor of Radiology at the University of British Columbia; and Maxime Ducret, Professor and Hospital Physician at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1. Together, they will demonstrate how tools such as “label an image,” “find on an image,” Script Concordance Tests (SCT), and NCLEX-style questions are helping students develop diagnostic reasoning and clinical confidence.

Wooclap distinguishes itself in the EdTech space by integrating text-and-image interactivity within structured questioning formats—an approach that deepens engagement and enhances the learning experience.

Following the event, participants will receive the Health Ed Playbook, a resource featuring the top 15 use cases for incorporating interactivity into health education. The goal: to empower educators to create more responsive, immersive, and effective digital learning environments for tomorrow’s healthcare professionals.
