In the glass cabinets of the exhibition hall of Chengdu Railway Health School, there are many “memories of nurturing people” – yellowed 1950s nursing textbooks, old stethoscopes printed with the school emblem, and advanced nursing manikins that can simulate heart and lung functions. This exhibition hall serves not only as a window for the school to receive students from sister institutions and showcase its educational achievements, but also as a “second classroom” for teachers and students majoring in nursing and pharmacy. In the early years, however, the problem of “not being able to fully explain the exhibits and not being able to teach all the details” always devalued the exhibition hall. The Yingmi self-service explanation system enables these static objects to truly “speak” and become “smart partners” on campus.
I. The “Double Dilemma” of the Health School Exhibition Hall
Director Wang, who is in charge of the exhibition hall management at Chengdu Railway Health School, can’t help but look through the reception records when talking about the past troubles: “The exhibition hall is not like a scenic spot. It has to let visitors understand history and help students learn skills at the same time. The previous way simply couldn’t handle it.” Each of these predicaments bears the unique attributes of an “educational context” and is not merely a matter of “voice transmission” :
1.When receiving guests, the teacher repeatedly explains and becomes a “repeater”
The exhibition hall receives over 20 batches of visitors from sister institutions and enterprise representatives every year. From the school’s establishment history to the stories of old teaching AIDS, the teachers have to repeat them 3 to 4 times every day. Last autumn, a delegation from a provincial health school visited. Director Wang led the visitors from the entrance of the exhibition hall to the mannequin exhibition area. Just after he finished explaining “the school’s educational mission when it was founded in 1958”, a visitor in the back row raised their hand and asked, “Could you please explain again the professional Settings in the early days of the school’s establishment?” When she finished speaking again, the visitors in the front row urged her to see the next simulation device. The whole process felt like she was “rushing to the scene”.
What is even more troublesome is the lack of in-depth communication – teachers are busy reading the explanations and have no time to talk to visitors about “the current curriculum reform of the nursing major” and “the teaching application of mannequins”. When visitors leave, they only remember “the school has a long history”, but do not understand “what the educational characteristics are”. A visiting principal said, “The exhibition hall is like a display cabinet. It doesn’t allow people to touch the essence of running the school.” I felt particularly uncomfortable hearing this. Director Wang said.
2. When teaching, students often neglect one aspect for another, and thus fail to master all the skills
The advanced nursing manikins in the exhibition hall are core teaching tools for the nursing profession – they need to clarify the “Angle of venipuncture”, the “depth of compression for cardiopulmonary resuscitation”, and also remind of the “steps for disinfecting instruments after operation”. Every time Teacher Li brings 30 students for practice, he can only stand beside the simulation manikins and speak loudly. The students in the front row can clearly see the operation, while those in the back row either can’t get close or miss the detail that “disinfection should be divided into three steps”.
Once, when student Xiao Zhang was operating a simulator, he didn’t hear the “press frequency 100-120 times per minute” clearly and pressed too fast. By the time Teacher Li noticed it, it was already too late. I could only ask the whole class to stop and reexplain, but the students who understood earlier thought it was a waste of time, and those who didn’t still couldn’t keep up. Teacher Li said helplessly, “Nursing skills allow no room for carelessness, but when there are too many people, I really can’t take care of every student.”
3. The exhibit “Static Silence” tells a story that won’t go far
The old teaching AIDS in the exhibition hall, such as syringes from the last century and handwritten nursing teaching plans, all conceal the school’s educational stories: in the 1960s, teachers used that syringe to teach students “intravenous injection”, and the handwritten teaching plans recorded the school’s educational philosophy of “teaching every student patiently”. However, these stories were only told by a few lines of text on the display boards. Visitors and students either had no patience to read them or couldn’t understand “what’s the difference between the old syringes and the current ones?” The exhibits became “silent ornaments”.
Ii. Yingmi Self-service Interpretation System: Customized “Dual-Scenario Solution” for Health School Exhibition Halls
The introduction of the Yingmi self-service interpretation System is not merely a simple “equipment replacement”, but rather a scenario-based adaptation to the dual demands of “reception + teaching” at the health school. From operational convenience to content design, every aspect is tailored to the usage habits of teachers, students, and visitors.
1. Reception scene: Transforming teachers from “tape recorders” to “communicators”
To address the problem of repetitive explanations during reception, the Yingmi self-service explanation System has been designed with “automatic sensing + in-depth content” : Invisible identification points are pasted beside each exhibit in the exhibition hall (old textbooks, old teaching AIDS, and mannettes). Visitors only need to wear a lightweight receiver and walk within one meter of the exhibit. The explanation will automatically start – from “When the school was founded in 1950, there was only one major, nursing” to “The needle material of the old syringe was changed from stainless steel to titanium alloy” Then there is “The Simulator can simulate 12 common diseases”, which is detailed and professional.
Last November, when a delegation from a health school outside the province visited, the visitors wore the system and toured independently: some stopped in front of the old teaching plan and listened to the story of “the teacher writing the teaching plan by hand until late at night back then”. Some people surrounded the mannequin, listening to the teaching application that “it can help students practice cardiopulmonary resuscitation”. Director Wang was no longer as busy explaining as before. Instead, he sat in the rest area of the exhibition hall with the principal of the delegation, chatting about “the curriculum reform of the nursing major” and “practical projects of school-enterprise cooperation”, and the exchange was particularly in-depth. When the principal was leaving, he said, “Your exhibition hall is not just for display; it also allows people to feel the warmth of running the school,” which was simply impossible to achieve before. Director Wang said with a smile.
The system also supports multi-language explanations (three commonly used languages: Chinese, English and Spanish). Last year, when receiving representatives from overseas partner institutions, foreign visitors listened to the explanations in English and clearly understood the school’s history and teaching characteristics, without having to rely on translators to “pass on messages”.
2. Teaching Scenario: Let the simulator become a “personal teaching assistant”
In response to the issue of “neglecting one aspect for another” in nursing teaching, the Yingmi Self-service Explanation System has developed a “teacher recording + student scanning code” function. Teacher Li only needs to connect her mobile phone to the system and record the key points of the advanced nursing simulation maniac’s operation (such as “venous puncture Angle 30°”, “depth of cardiopulmonary resuscitation compression 5-6cm”, “disinfection steps after operation”) into an explanation audio Then relate it to the recognition points on the simulated human. When students practice, they scan the recognition points with the receiver and can hear Teacher Li’s standard explanations, which is equivalent to having a “one-on-one personal teaching assistant”.
When student Xiao Zhang is operating the simulator now, he first scans the recognition points on his chest and follows the prompt “Press at a frequency of 100-120 times per minute” step by step. “Before, I couldn’t hear clearly in the back row, but now I can listen repeatedly until I remember it well.” ” Xiao Zhang said that once he didn’t understand the “three steps of disinfection”, so he scanned the identification points three times until he had fully mastered them. Teacher Li also clearly felt that the teaching efficiency had improved: “Previously, it took 20 minutes to explain the operations. Now, students listen by themselves, and I only need to guide them on individual issues. In one class, they can practice two more operation items.”
The system also supports “content updates” – this year, the school has added an “Elderly Care Simulation Manikin”. Teacher Li only took 10 minutes to record the new explanation content. There is no need to change the equipment. Students can listen to it after scanning, which is very convenient.
3. Revitalizing Exhibits: Letting Old Objects “Tell Stories
To bring the old teaching AIDS to life, the Yingmi team collaborated with schools to record the stories behind them into the system: when talking about syringes from the 1950s, they would say, “Back then, teachers used them to teach students to ‘gently push and inject slowly’ because the needles were thicker at that time, and special attention had to be paid to the patients’ feelings.” When teaching handwritten lesson plans, one would mention, “The owner of the lesson plan is Teacher Zhang. She has taught over 300 students, and now many of them have become head nurses in hospitals.”
Nowadays, when students pass by the old teaching aid display cabinets, they often stop to listen to stories. Before, I thought these old things were useless. Only after listening did I realize that the spirit of nursing in the school has been passed down in this way. Student Xiao Li said. Visitors are also more willing to stay. Once, a teacher from a sister school listened to an old lesson plan for 15 minutes and even asked Director Wang for a written version of the story, saying, “I want to take it back to the school for the students to see.”
Iii. “Detail Design” Tailored to Educational Scenarios: It should not only be practical but also durable
The Yingmi self-service explanation system can take root in the exhibition hall of the health school not only because of its functional compatibility, but also because the details are in line with the usage habits of educational scenarios. These details may also be the key points that overseas educational institutions care about:
1. Simple operation: Both teachers and students can quickly get started
The operation interface of the system has been designed in a “minimalist” way – when teachers record content, they only need to open the accompanying APP, click the “Record” button, and speak into the microphone. There is no need to learn complex editing. Students and visitors use the receiver, which only has three buttons: “Power on/Off”, “Volume up/Down”, and “Language Switch”. The ICONS are clear. Even those who have never used it before can learn it in one minute.
I wasn’t proficient in electronic devices before. The first time I recorded the explanation, it only took me five minutes. It was extremely simple. Teacher Li said that once an overseas visitor got the receiver, took a look at the button and switched to English mode without asking any questions.
2. Lightweight equipment: It does not affect teaching operations
The receiver weighs only 75 grams, even lighter than a mobile phone. When students wear it to operate the simulator, they won’t be tripped over by the device. The headphones adopt a semi-in-ear design. Even after wearing them for a long time, your ears won’t hurt. You can still hear the conversations of your classmates around you and it won’t affect group discussions. “I used other devices before, but they were heavy and stuck in my ears. They always fell off when operating the simulator. Now this one is particularly comfortable to wear.” ” Student Xiao Zhang said.
3. Durable battery life: Meeting the needs of all-day teaching and reception
The receiver can last for 12 hours on a single charge, fully meeting the school’s needs for “8 classes +1 reception”. The shell is made of anti-drop material. If a student accidentally drops it on the ground while operating the simulator, they can still use it after picking it up. Xiao Chen, who is in charge of equipment management, said, “We have been using it for over half a year, and not a single device has broken down. Every day, we collect them and put them in batch charging boxes. The next day, they are fully charged. It’s really worry-free.”
IV. From “Tool” to “Partner” : Visible Changes in the Exhibition Hall
The Yingmi self-service interpretation system has been in use in the exhibition hall of the health school for 10 months. The change is not just about being “user-friendly”, but truly integrating into the educational context of the campus:
1. Upgraded reception Experience: From “going through the motions” to “Deep Communication”
The reception satisfaction rate of the exhibition hall has now risen from 75% to 98%. Visiting sister institutions and overseas organizations all mention that “the explanation system in the exhibition hall is very professional.” A representative from an overseas partner institution said, “Being able to listen to explanations independently and have in-depth discussions with teachers about teaching is a much better experience than simply visiting an exhibition.” In Director Wang’s reception record, the feedback of “hoping for further communication” has increased, while the complaint of “not catching the explanation clearly” has become zero.
2. Improved teaching efficiency: Students master skills more quickly
In Teacher Li’s nursing class, the accuracy rate of students operating the simulation manikins has increased from 70% to 92%, and the problem of “not hearing the key points of the operation clearly” has decreased by 80%. In the school’s teaching assessment, students’ scores for the “Exhibition Hall Practice Class” have risen from 3.2 points (out of 5) to 4.8 points. Many students say, “Being able to listen to the explanations repeatedly gives us more confidence in learning skills.”
3. Cultural inheritance and implementation: The story of nurturing talents is passed on further
The old teaching AIDS are no longer “silent ornaments”. This year, the school has also developed an “exhibition hall education Class” based on the stories in the system, allowing freshmen to understand the school’s nursing spirit by listening to the stories of the old teaching AIDS. After hearing the story of the old syringe, a new student said, “Now I understand why teachers always say ‘Be patient with patients’. This has been passed down in the school all along.”
V. Yingmi’s “Education Scene Service Capability” : Allowing overseas users to choose with confidence
Many representatives of overseas educational institutions, after learning about the case of Chengdu Railway Health School, would ask, “Why can the system of Yingmi be adapted to educational scenarios?” The answer lies in Yingmi’s 15 years of industry accumulation and its understanding of educational needs:
1. Educational scene experience: Understand the needs of teachers and students
Yingmi has previously provided interpretation solutions for the Anhui Provincial Library, the history museums of many universities, and the training exhibition halls. It is well aware of the demands of educational scenarios that they should be simple, durable, and closely related to teaching. For instance, the “Teacher Recording Function” designed for health schools is optimized based on the previous experience of serving the practical training scenarios in colleges and universities, eliminating the need to explore from scratch.
2. Comprehensive after-sales support: Eliminating any worries
In response to the demands of educational institutions, Yingmi offers technical support in both Chinese and English, ensuring a prompt response in case of equipment issues. It will also provide “content update guidance”, such as when the school adds new teaching AIDS, technicians will remotely teach teachers how to record new explanations, so there is no need to worry about subsequent usage issues. When Chengdu Railway Health School added a new elderly care simulation this year, the technicians from Yingmi only took 20 minutes to teach Teacher Li to complete the content recording through video.
Conclusion: Let intelligent technology serve every detail of education
On an afternoon in the exhibition hall of Chengdu Railway Health School, sunlight streamed through the Windows, bathing the old teaching AIDS and mannedumins. Students, wearing the Yingmi self-service explanation system, surrounded the mannedumins and listened to the explanations softly. Teacher Li occasionally gave guidance beside them, and Director Wang chatted with visiting teachers about teaching in the rest area. This quiet yet dynamic scene is precisely the value that Yingmi aims to create for the educational setting.
Yingmi is well aware that the explanation system in educational scenarios is not merely a tool for “conveying voices”, but should also be a partner for “assisting in nurturing people”. Thank you, Chengdu Railway Health School, for your trust, which has enabled Yingmi’s technology to take root and sprout in the fertile soil of education. In the future, Yingmi will continue to optimize the system, such as adding more minor languages (Arabic, Russian, etc.) and developing the “voice prompt for Skill assessment” function, so that it can be adapted to more countries and more types of educational institutions.
After all, good technology should serve the essence of education – making the transmission of knowledge smoother and the stories of nurturing people more touching. And Yingmi is willing to always be a “smart partner” in the educational scene, bringing such an experience to more overseas campuses.
