Video Demonstration Transcript

Welcome to HealthEd Today, and congratulations on exploring the exciting career opportunities that exist within the growing healthcare industry. This short demonstration will provide you with an overview of these interactive, engaging online healthcare programs.

Before you begin a Health Ed Today program, we want to provide you with an opportunity to ensure you have all the necessary plugins and technologies to access the variety of media in these programs.

By running this browser test, students can quickly determine if they need additional plug-ins to make the most of their Health Ed Today Experience.

Health Ed Today leverages the Pearson LearningStudio platform as our Learning Management System, students will use a unique user name and password to access their course.

These programs include many of the elements of a traditional classroom courses – a syllabus, course objectives, reading assignments, Lesson Presentations, course assignments, supporting media, flashcards, module tests, and a final exam.

These courses provide intuitive navigation to assist learners in working through the various materials. Each course is laid out by Module and each module contains lessons, an assignment, a discussion topic, supporting media (such as videos and learning activities) Flashcards, a Glossary, and a Module test. Following the last module is a final exam.

Each lesson begins with a checklist to ensure learners know exactly what they are expected to do to meet the objectives for the lesson.

The online lesson presentations have been designed to provide learners with a wealth of learning opportunities. Each lesson presentation begins with an overview of what is covered in the modules.

The interactive lecture presentations are designed to optimize instruction – as such we have provided simple, intuitive navigation to allow learners to quickly find the resources they need as they move through the lesson presentation – with minimum distraction.

Within each lecture presentation, learners will find a variety of content and interactions, all geared to enhance their online learning experiences including:

  • Interactive Glossary Terms
  • Click and Reveals
  • Enhanced Graphics

In addition to module tests and the final exam, learners are provided with frequent Check Your Understanding opportunities, such as this drag and drop self-assessment, in order to review key content and to ensure mastery of concepts covered in each lesson.

The lesson presentations also contain a set of learning tools including:

  • A robust Notes taking tool that enables students to take notes on specific screens. Those notes are logged so students can copy, edit, print and take with them as a study tool.
  • And aGlossary for easy references to key terms at any time. These are from the actual lesson presentation

In addition to the information found in the lecture presentations, learners are provided with addition supporting videos and animations that support key concepts

Learning activities, such as this drag and drop exercise on the Conduction System are provided to allow for additional reinforcement.

Online flash cards provide an excellent opportunity to review key terms and concepts within each module. The flash card interactivity allows learner to: review based on the terms, the definitions, to see both term and definition at the same time, and to drill for mastery via the timed mode.

Each course contains both module tests and a final exam. All tests and the final exam are based on the materials covered in each of our courses. Once you have completed all tests or the final exam, your grades are automatically recorded into the gradebook.

HealthEd today has created a robust online course experience that is focused on providing our learners with support as well as a sense of community

At HealthEd today we understand it is helpful to know that your online learning experience is a shared experience. On your course homepage you will find an activity feed that provides a snap shot of the activities you and other students are completing in the course. Additionally, much like other social media tools, the activity feed is a place where you can communicate with your classmates and instructors while in your program.
