What does research say about blended training?
Research conducted by the American Heart Association and the American Red Cross concluded that multi-media and blended (multi-media and hands-on) CPR & AED training is more effective than traditional classroom training. Please click http://www.emergencyuniversity.com/blog.html to view a list of research studies confirming the superiority of multi-media and blended CPR & AED training. In a 15-city evaluation of blended CPR training presented at the American Public Health Association in November 2003, trainees who completed blended training programs outperformed their traditional classroom counterparts in all assessment categories. (p<0.009) Trainees further stated that they preferred the blended training format. CPR Education that Works: "A Web-based Blended Learning Approach", Anthony C.
