What is the Blended Course?
We realize that some of our students are required to have a hands on skill evaluation as part of your two-year re-certification. We offer a blended course to offer all of our students more convenient training, at their own pace and fitting with their busy schedule. With a blended course you take the cognitive test/challenge portion of your re-certification online with ProCPR and print out our blended course certificate. To print the blended course certificate, please go to www.ProCPR.org and log in with your username and password. Then, after option 4, click on the [skill/eval] link and print your card. Then, you would take this certificate to an instructor of your choosing or designated trainer for your employer, and they would evaluate your hands-on skills, usually in 5-10 minutes. Not as convenient, be we understand some employers are requiring this. After the skill evaluation the hands on instructor would co-sign the back of your card.
The blended course in physics 11 AP is a course designed to incorporate computer based learning on top of the traditional classroom environment. Approximately one third of the course would be done by the student on computer at home or in school. This portion of the course comprises of websites where the students can view lessons, watch video clips and interact with computer simulations. Students would also be participating in on-line discussions and retrieving files in the Desire-to-Learn (D2L) program and may join on-line tutorials in the Elluminate program. What do students do with the on-line lessons? These on-line lessons have been selected to replace certain classoom lectures. They have been put together with short video clips, slides and a few interactive quizzes. Students are required to view these lessons and keep a journal on them. The journal should have the equations which they come across in the lesson and a brief summary paragraph of the lesson. The journal will be checked
