Key strategies employed to support students in achieving learning outcomes include:
- Lessons include visual, auditory and active experiences to enhance learner retention and transfer. Each lesson includes illustrated content and activities.
- Active simulations create a multisensory experience and allow students to explore and practice newly learned skills. Students learn and practice various medical procedures in a risk-free environment, including giving injections, taking vital signs, performing ultrasounds, and other patient assessments.
- Immediate and targeted feedback provides instant support and allows students to assess their own performance. Branching pathways are activated based on student performance and interest.
- The course is designed for one semester of classroom instruction.
- The time to complete a lesson depends on how well a student progresses through the activities. Instructors can customize the course to meet school scheduling needs.
