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.

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 COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
Nursing Objectives:
1. Describe different learning styles
and how different forms of elearning and simulation can
accommodate each of them
2. Discuss simulation design based
on some best practices in simulation
education.

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 COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
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
(http://www.uic.edu/depts/oee/blended/workshop/bibliography.pdf)
– Cameron, B. (2003). The effectiveness of simulation in a hybrid and
online networking course. TechTrends, 47(5), 18-21.
 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.

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.

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 COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
Review of Literature:
Standardized Patients (SPs)
 Utilizing SPs in education allows faculty to develop patientcentered 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.

How to use Products
 Laerdal provides
eLearning courses
for such products
as:
– VitalSim
– SimMan 3G

FSU COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
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 voiceassisted 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.

Script
Elicit functional ability
in 3 areas: 1. ADLs
(bathing, dressing,
grooming, mobility
noting any aides,
continence, feeding);
2. IADLs (phone use,
med use, shopping,
cooking, cleaning,
finances,
transportation);
3AADLs (recreation,
church, school, work)
Before, how was your ability for
personal care, did you have
difficulty bathing? Dressing?
Grooming?
ADL’s (Activities of Daily Living)
Everything was fine
Before, how was your ability to
do things around the house and
nearby? Did you have difficulty
driving? Cooking? Using your
medications?
IADL’s (Instrumental Activities
of Daily Living) – no problems
Before, how were you doing with
your work, were you having any
problems there? Any problems
with your recreation?
AADL’s (Advanced Activities of
Daily Living) – Recreation- I can tell
I’m not a teenager anymore. I have
to stretch and warm up
