Overview

According to program survey responses shared at the September ACLS State as Partner meeting, the majority of classes returning this fall are being offered using distance or hybrid models.

In this session, we will begin by providing a brief review of the five models for distance and hybrid education provided in the ACLS policies.

Next, we will specifically focus on one model that some programs have adopted: conducting in-person instruction that also provides opportunities for learners to access the class online, either synchronously or asynchronously. This approach provides many flexible options for students, but also some challenges for instructors who work with both online and in-person learners.

You will hear from program teachers who will describe the model they have adopted in their programs and the strategies they use to make the process manageable for both the instructor and the students. They will also address the supports they use to promote engagement among all their learners, regardless of how they join the class.

You will have time to ask questions of our panelists.
