Design and development of e-learning materials for cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Abstract

Background/Aims There are a number of educational programmes that teach life support skills to the whole population. A number of these programmes are now taught using smart technologies. This study aimed to develop interactive electronic training materials for cardiopulmonary resuscitation training in Greece. Methods The online programming tool, Articulate Storyline 2, was used to generate an online training course. Discussion These materials needed to include Sign Language in order to communicate cardiopulmonary resuscitation training. The material consists of nine educational sessions, including video-teaching, interactive questions and evaluation tests. The majority of the programmes were adjusted to include Sign Language options, so people with hearing defects can also be taught. The above material will be uploaded on a distance-learning platform and will be evaluated for its efficacy and friendliness. Results It is hoped that the materials will be used for the mass training of the general population as well as health professionals.
