Abstract
Multimedia improves understanding of information. Professionally developed digital multimedia educational modules are expensive. We tested educational modules developed by a medical student without extensive multimedia production training. The modules were developed with neonatologist collaboration, uploaded to YouTube, and presented via iPad to neonatal intensive care unit family members who were ≥ 18 years, English literate, and unexposed to topic they were reviewing. Thirty-six participants viewed the modules once and then answered topic-specific key questions. Thirty of 36 (83%) of the participants answered 4/4 (100%) of questions correctly and 6/36 (17%) answered three-fourths (75%) correctly, demonstrating success of the educational modules. Health care workers can economically create effective digital multimedia educational materials without extensive training.
