Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Cases: Students review patient cases that require critical thinking to arrive at the correct diagnosis and patient intervention. Challenge Scenario: Students act out a complex scenario that contains multiple issues and requires strong problem-solving skills. Simulated patient experiences: Students appreciate what it's like to experience various conditions, such as schizophrenia, sensory or communication deficits, geriatric mobility difficulties, and more. Wrecking Ball: Students create models of wrecking balls to demonstrate the principles of kinesthetics and determine how those principles apply to vehicle crashes and other mechanisms of injury. Simon Says: Students take turns being Simon, using medical terms to direct their classmates' movements. Paramedic Flipped Classroom helps instructors shift away from the role of lecturer, allowing traditional instructor-centered classrooms to transform into student-centered learning environments where instructors can have an even greater impact on student outcomes.

"Neither an academic tome nor a prescriptive 'how to' guide, The Theory and Practice of Online Learning is an illuminating collection of essays by practitioners and scholars active in the complex field of distance education. Distance education has evolved significantly in its 150 years of existence. For most of this time, it was an individual pursuit defined by infrequent postal communication. But recently, three more developmental generations have emerged, supported by television and radio, teleconferencing, and computer conferencing. The early 21st century has produced a fifth generation, based on autonomous agents and intelligent, database-assisted learning, that has been referred to as Web 2.0. The second edition of "The Theory and Practice of Online Learning" features updates in each chapter, plus four new chapters on current distance education issues such as connectivism and social software innovations."--BOOK JACKET.
