FSU C OLLEGE OF M EDICINE Description:  Implementing blended learning can reduce costs, enable training of more people in less time and contribute to standardizing the education delivered across teams and departments. By utilizing combinations of various education methods such as self directed cognitive learning with psychomotor hands on simulation, blended learning can work together to create high level efficiencies in education delivery.

FSU C OLLEGE OF M EDICINE Learning Objectives: 1. Determine the goals of continuing education in health care 2. Identify different learning styles and how different forms of e-learning and simulation can address each. 3. Discuss simulation design based on some best practices in simulation education. 4. Discuss how blending eLearning and simulation can improve efficiency and effectiveness resuscitation training programs.

FSU C OLLEGE OF M EDICINE What is Blended Learning?  There no consensus on a single agreed-upon definition for blended learning. The terms “blended” “hybrid” and “mixed–mode” are used interchangeably in current research literature  A blended learning approach combines the best of face to face classroom methods with computer-mediated activities or simulations to form an integrated instructional approach leading to flexibility  By the year 2013, 7 in 10 school will have 40% of their courses with blended learning

FSU C OLLEGE OF M EDICINE What is Blended Learning?  According to research shared at the ALN Conference Workshop on Blending Learning & Higher Education November 17, 2005, there is evidence that a blended instructional approach can result in learning outcome gains and increased enrollment retention ( ) – Cameron, B. (2003). The effectiveness of simulation in a hybrid and online networking course. TechTrends, 47(5),  This research compared students’ performance on simulation-based courses and static graphic representational teaching of the same courses content in an online learning environment. Results indicate that interactive learning tools, such as simulation, have the potential to increase student motivation and learning in an online environment.

FSU C OLLEGE OF M EDICINE Standardized Patient   According to the Association of Standardized Patient Educators (ASPE) a standardized patient is a person trained to portray a patient scenario, or an actual patient using their own history and physical exam findings, for the instruction, assessment, or practice of communication and/or examination skills of a health care provider.

FSU C OLLEGE OF M EDICINE Review of Literature: Standardized Patients (SPs)  Nursing education has historically been challenged with the problem of how to objectively evaluate clinical performance. – The National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) has developed guidelines for evaluation of nurse practitioner’s in interpersonal, communication, history-taking, physical examination and clinical decision making skills.  Utilizing standardized patients (SPs) in education has been shown to be a powerful teaching and evaluation tool in medical education and is currently being adopted by undergraduate and graduate nursing programs.

FSU C OLLEGE OF M EDICINE Review of Literature: Standardized Patients (SPs)  Utilizing SPs in education allows faculty to develop patient- centered scenarios designed to meet specific curricular objectives.  SP interactions require students to apply classroom knowledge and clinical skills to real life situations. SPs in education allow control of the complexity of the clinical problem while providing students with patient experience in the health and medical sciences in a safe and supportive environment  Literature reports that faculty and nursing students find SP encounters to be realistic, challenging, and a worthwhile experience.

FSU C OLLEGE OF M EDICINE Healthcare Providers Course (BLS)  eLearning courses are delivered in one, two or three parts. HeartCode BLS – Part 1. Upon successful completion of the online portion, including the written exam, students receive a Part 1 certificate of completion, which must be presented for parts 2 and 3. – Part 2*, a hands-on skills practice session with an AHA BLS Instructor or using a voice- assisted manikin (VAM) system – Part 3*, a skills test with an AHA BLS Instructor or using a VAM system – *Parts 2 and 3 should be completed in one “skills practice and testing” session.   be.com/watch?v= SYc8NKVlKn8&feat ure=player_embed ded be.com/watch?v= SYc8NKVlKn8&feat ure=player_embed ded
