This training was geared towards learners who would take a compliance course to learn the American Red Cross emergency techniques. Though course maps are often for the designers of a course, this was created as if it would be forward-facing to the learners. Tasks in this 8-module course map are a combination of discussion posts, reading selection via clickable links, research, video demonstrations, formative, and summative assessments. Unlike most compliance courses, thought-provoking articles and readings about the history and evolution of the techniques are included to engage the learner and deepen their thinking.
