Infection Prevention & Control is an interactive healthcare lab pitched at Level 4 — Undergraduate Year 1 (Level 4 on the UK framework). It is one worked example of what EngagedLab produces when a lecturer uploads their own healthcare teaching material: the platform classifies the content, structures it into a multi-section lab, and generates the retrieval-practice and challenge activities shown below.
Across 6 sections and 9 challenges (about 35 min of learner time), the lab moves beyond passive reading. Learners work through a scenario decision and other domain tasks that ask them to apply, not just recall — reasoning that is tagged against Bloom’s taxonomy so the cognitive demand is visible. Each objective and quiz question is discipline-accurate and written to UK academic conventions.
The lab sets 3 explicit learning objectives — listed in full below — and every quiz question and challenge is aligned to them, so the assessment matches the intended outcome rather than drifting into trivia. The finished lab passes EngagedLab’s 32 quality gates and exports as an offline-capable SCORM 1.2/2004 or LTI 1.3 Advantage package, so progress and scores flow back to your VLE gradebook through AGS grade passback and cmi.suspend_data state persistence.
Learning objectives
Describe the six links in the chain of infection and identify where an intervention breaks it.
Apply the WHO 'Five Moments for Hand Hygiene' to a patient-care sequence.
Select appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for a given transmission route.
Try a sample quiz
Pick an answer to see instant feedback — exactly as a learner would in the generated lab.
Q1. Cleaning a contaminated bed rail primarily breaks which link in the chain of infection?
Q2. Under the WHO Five Moments, when should hand hygiene be performed relative to a clean/aseptic procedure?
Sample challenge
You are about to help a patient with suspected norovirus to the toilet, then take another patient’s blood pressure. Identify each hand-hygiene moment and the PPE you would use, with reasons.
Hint 1
Map the sequence against the Five Moments — moving between patients and between tasks each creates a trigger.
Hint 2
Norovirus is contact-transmitted and alcohol gel is less effective against it, so soap-and-water hand washing plus gloves and apron are indicated; perform hand hygiene before patient contact, before the clean task, and after body-fluid exposure and patient contact.
