- Learning management system for many departments in Ohio, of all sizes … large and small. Including many of the largest departments in Ohio.

- Handout audience response padsTell them how to use – use the keys to answer questions that I will display on the screen. Yes/noMultiple choice
- Now I want to get to know youWant to learn a little bit more about you … Using the audience response pads
- Range of training activities. Some can always be delivered better onlineOthers will never be delivered better online and will always need classroom training
- Middle management, decision makers have familiarity with technology, experience using it, and a willingness to try new things
- Increasing technology familiarity, online training experience, expectation that training will be available.
- StaffMoneyMore callsBrown-outs
- Online education means a lot of things to a lot of different people. Mix of definitions – distributed, distance, web-based, internet, online education. Tough to put it into a tidy box.
- Conjures up a lot more opinions and emotions than other types of education. Probably because we don’t have a shared sense of what is or what is quality online education. Some of you might be here because you don’t believe online education has a role in EMS education.But can you imagine having a conversation about whether we should or shouldn’t use lecture or preceptors. Those are accepted, regardless of quality or actual measurable outcomes. Comparison of our ability to judge quality – audio vs visualsAudio – we all consume lots of audio media, radio, television, even announcements at the airport. We have a finely tuned sense of what good audio sounds like. Visuals – we don’t have a fined tuned sense of what a good PowerPoint slide is. The audience, probably because of lots of negative experiences is very forgiving of bad PowerPoint slides.
- I envision a future where consensus will develop about the definitions of what online education is and it will conjure up a fairly expected set of opinions and beliefs.
- Files are documents and slide shows
- Everything in One Place
- Always available for training

- Lots of concerns about EMS Education2.0
- A valid concern to haveMost of the tools are freeMost of the software you already have, can get for free, or find a free alternative,Most of the hardware you already haveSo do your studentsTraining – learn by doing, learn from studentsConsequences of failure are low.
- You don’t have time.I don’t have timeNobody has time for more.Need to think about what you will give up to participate in EMS2.0 * Hard to be in EMS2.0 and EMS 0.1 at the same time.I have given up – less general web browsing, listening to as many podcasts as I used to, and I send a lot less email.
- My boss would never approve. I think most social media users just started without asking for permission. Don’t ask … just do it … as long as in the best interests of your organization. I am guessing a lot of information is passing your organization by
- Ongoing trend of institutional barriers.Inadequate hardware – not having enough computers, no speakers, no headphones, IT blockade – unwillingness to install flash, blocking pop-ups, preventing cookies … any number of things Time and pay for training – when and where training should happen, and who will pay for it.
- You already have most of the tools – hardware and software. My mother-in-law writes a blog with embedded videos and images.If she can do it anyone can do it.
- Get over itStop expecting it
- EMS 2.0 focuses on collaboration, engagement, sharing, understanding, self-discovery, learning from others. Instead of expending energy on blocking cheating focus your education time and resources towardsCultural changeFocus on education on collaborationFocus assessment on group performanceFocus on competency through daily accomplishment, simulator training, peer review, and training officer approval.
- Training is still a place and a time. “the EMS academy” or “the training room” is a physical location with set hours, equipment, staff, and use potential.
- Training inside your service areaTraining goes anywhere the provider goes … or anywhere the provider can access the internet … which is anywhere the provider goes.
