🎯 Exercise 3: Interactive Learning Game

Converting Guidelines into Engaging Quizzes

Objective

Transform dry clinical trial guidelines, protocols, or research papers into interactive quiz-based learning experiences that improve knowledge retention and make training more engaging. This exercise demonstrates how AI can instantly create educational games from existing documentation, making onboarding and continuing education more effective.

Implementation Steps

  1. Take the structured guidelines table from your previous exercise (or any clinical document)
  2. Open Claude (recommended) or other LLM (Claude typically produces better game formats)
  3. Paste the provided prompt and then your document content
  4. Demonstrate the resulting interactive quiz by playing through 2-3 questions
  5. Involve your audience by having them answer one question to increase engagement

🎯 Key Benefits

This technique converts static policies into dynamic learning tools that significantly improve knowledge retention and engagement, reducing training time while increasing policy comprehension across teams with varying experience levels.

Sample Instructions

You are an experienced clinical research educator who specializes in creating engaging training materials for research professionals. You understand that interactive learning significantly improves knowledge retention compared to passive reading, especially for complex topics like clinical trial guidelines.

I need your help creating an interactive learning game from our clinical trial guidelines. The audience includes both experienced negotiators and new team members who need to understand our positions. The game should reinforce key policies and help players identify our required, preferred, permitted, and prohibited positions.

Create an interactive 10-question learning game based on this document. Include:

  1. Multiple choice questions with 4 answer options each
  2. Clear explanations for why answers are correct or incorrect
  3. A scoring system (1 point per correct answer)
  4. Questions that test understanding of our most critical requirements
  5. A mix of difficulty levels to challenge both beginners and experienced team members
  6. A final assessment of the player's knowledge level based on their score

Format the game so it's easy to follow and engaging. Use a conversational tone that encourages learning rather than simply testing.

Transformation Concept

Static Policies & Tables

Dense guidelines that people rarely read or remember

  • ❌ Low engagement
  • ❌ Poor retention
  • ❌ Inconsistent understanding
  • ❌ Boring training sessions

Interactive Learning Games

Engaging quizzes with scoring and explanations

  • ✅ High engagement
  • ✅ Better retention

Sample Interactive Quiz Output

🎯 Clinical Trial Agreement Quiz

Test your knowledge of our institution's clinical trial agreement guidelines!

Question 1: What is our required position regarding sponsor payment for research-related injuries?

A) Sponsor must pay only if they are at fault
B) Sponsor must pay regardless of fault ✓
C) Subject's insurance must pay first
D) Institution and sponsor share costs equally
✓ Correct! Our required position is that sponsors must pay for research-related injuries regardless of fault. This protects research participants and is non-negotiable.

Question 2: What publication review period is preferred in our guidelines?

A) 90-120 days
B) No review period
C) 30-60 days ✓
D) Unlimited review until sponsor approval
✓ Correct! We prefer a 30-60 day preview period - enough time for sponsor review without delaying publication.
🎉 Your score so far: 2/2 (100%)

📈 Learning Impact

Interactive quizzes increase knowledge retention by 60% compared to passive reading, while providing immediate feedback and reinforcement of key policies. Teams report higher engagement and better comprehension when policies are presented as interactive learning experiences.
