E-learning solutions provider MC Strategies, Inc., US, part of Elsevier Health Sciences, has announced that USA Prepare, its emergency preparedness unit, will provide its technology and experience to emsacademy.com, a website dedicated to training EMTs, first responders and pre-hospital workers. As part of an exclusive agreement, the website will be powered by the USA Prepare Knowledge Deployment System (KDS), enabling the Medical College of Georgia to offer a sophisticated learning management system coupled with e-commerce capabilities.
EMT basic, intermediate and paramedic level training programmes as well as numerous EMS continuing education programmes will now be available online through emsacademy.com. Learners will gain the ability to select and pay for courses on emsacademy.com and get immediate access. Busy students can work at their own pace, using the latest textbooks and materials from Mosby while retaining markers allowing resumption of interrupted work.
The KDS can track progress through courses, point out requisite courses and offer reminders of deadlines for assignments and re-certifications. Also, it will provide for thorough and efficient management of learners by instructors and managers. Assignments can be made by job title, department, facility or enterprise-wide. Tracking and learning management are all seamlessly integrated and can be accessed 24/7 from anywhere with an internet connection.
