Introduction

In order to meet the challenge of overcoming traditional barriers to continuing education CRANAplus has recognised the need for health professionals to access innovative educational delivery methods. eRemote will complement the First Line Emergency Courses and assist in maintaining lifelong learning in health with its diversity and pressure on resourcing in rural and remote practice.

eRemote will empower the health professional by creating learning modules that are engaging, interactive and relevant to rural and remote practice.

The modules will encourage health professionals to make context specific decisions with directional feedback that encourages them to reflect upon their decisions and develop their critical thinking skills in the remote clinical setting. 

The Learning Opportunities

eRemote will be flexible in its delivery modes and self paced to allow the individual health professional to complete in their own time frame.

Modes of delivery to support the online learner are: -

Power Points, Cases Studies, Quizzes, Assessments, Text/handouts/checklist charts - that are downloadable, Videos, Educational blog and discussion forums.
