At Iowa Western Community College, some students in the emergency medical technician program don’t have time to go to campus two nights a week. They have families and jobs, and a number of them take the course so they can volunteer as emergency medical technicians, said Cherri Lynch, the emergency medical services coordinator at the college. Online, students access lectures, take exams and quizzes, and participate in threaded discussions. And on campus, they spend five Saturdays practicing the hands-on skills they need. When they take their national certification tests, the students who pick the blended approach score as high or higher than the traditional classroom students, Lynch said.
