Effective Prehospital Patient Handoffs Between Providers	0.50	Effective Prehospital Patient Handoffs Between Providers was designed to provide a common process for reporting patient information during the prehospital care process. Communication of the patient's prehospital care from all level of providers is essential in ensuring the continuation of care in a unified and effective manner and to help provide a seamless transition in their care. This course expands on the idea of effective patient handoffs to the field providers that often transfer patients between various levels of care from first-responder through advanced paramedics. Very often, initial observations of those initial responders are unavailable to subsequent responders - either because the patient has been moved, or the scene itself has been altered. Without an effective process to communicate these details, important information can and will be lost.

Developing Effective Outdoor Environments and Interest Areas: Assessing Space and Planning Activities	1.00	School-age children need daily opportunities to exercise, relax, and participate in a wide range of outdoor activities.

School-age programs can provide safe, secure settings where children can enjoy the outdoors. In this course, we will explore how to assess space and plan activities in outdoor environment and interest areas.
Advanced Interpersonal Communication: Organizational Culture	1.34	An organizational culture is the personality of an organization. This personality is both determined and accepted by the organization’s members. For example, an organization might have a culture that is youthful, energetic, and fast-paced. In this type of culture, decisions are made quickly, and employees are empowered to take action in a wide variety of situations. Another organization might be more straight-laced and policy-oriented. This organization would be much more formal and serious in the way it does business. It is important to recognize and understand the culture of an organization, so that you can determine your fit with the organization. In this course you will learn: to determine the nature of an organization’s culture, to use the cultural network to your advantage, and identify the characteristics of the roles exhibited in the network, to identify the elements of physical culture that affect interpersonal communication, and to identify the ways in which managers can build a positive culture.
Cross-Cultural Business Communication: Workplace Culture (Instructor Guide)	1.00	Culture is a way of life established by a group of people and passed on to succeeding generations. People within a culture usually share common values, beliefs, and perspectives and have the same language and communication style. Although people within a culture must live in close proximity while the culture is being established, future generations frequently relocate to other countries or regions. This creates situations of cross-cultural exchanges. As we become increasingly diverse, there is a growing demand for cross‑cultural communication in the workplace. Technology allows us to communicate with peers across the globe, as though they were sitting in our offices. Efficient and cost-effective travel makes it possible to communicate face-to-face with clients in other countries. In addition, companies seeking diverse and highly skilled employees find a conglomeration of cultures among them. As a result, employers are emphasizing cross-cultural communication in their own organizations to prepare employees to work with diverse co-workers and clients. In this course you will learn to: discuss the value of culture and the significance of cross-cultural communication in the workplace, and describe the impact of cultural differences on communication, and avoid miscommunication and conflicts that arise due to these difference. This Instructor's Edition of this course includes notes and suggestions to assist you in presenting the material, whether in an in-person classroom setting, or as an instructor-led online or distance-learning course. It also provides you with the answers to questions found in mid-lesson activities, as well as in the quiz that concludes the course.
