Online Self Learning

Online self learning programs are self-directed programs that allow learners to participate in education activities without leaving their organization, making them cost and time effective.  They are accessed via the Internet and frequently include exercises and post tests that demonstrate subject matter mastery.  CHA offers online self learning programs through careLearning.com.

Teleclasses

Teleclasses are relatively short (usually 90 minutes), live, interactive presentations delivered over the telephone. The learner receives handouts sent in advance by e-mail, along with a dial-in number and access code. While listening to the presentation over the telephone, the learner may ask the teleclass moderator to submit questions that the presenter will answer.  Hospitals find teleclasses and webinars cost-effective because they can sign up to have a group of people participate and pay only one telephone connection fee for the group.

Webinars

Webinars provide a relatively short (one to two hours), live, interactive presentation using the Internet and telephone conferencing lines. The learner uses handouts downloaded from the Internet, sees the presenter's slides on screen, hears the presentation over the telephone connection, and can have a moderator submit questions over the Internet. Similar to teleclasses, webinars provide a cost-effective option allowing a group of people to participate and pay only one telephone connection fee for the group. 

A current list of teleclasses and webinars offered is available by clicking either "List of Programs" or " Calendar of Events" on the menu. CHA offers online self learning programs through careLearning.com.

careLearning.com

careLearning is an online training organization developed and run by a group of state hospital associations, including CHA, to provide a wide array of cost-effective online education opportunities for their vendors.  Over 200 courses are currently offered through careLearning. A popular program available to healthcare organizations is the Health and Safety Compliance Series (HSCS), designed to meet mandated training requirements. A subscription to the HSCS provides access to thirteen of the most commonly requested mandatory courses for healthcare employees, as well as a comprehensive, easy-to-use learner tracking and management system.

Blended Learning Curriculum

Blending learning curriculums feature classroom and online learning activities, access to a skill building mentor, and interaction with peers via ListServs. CHA partners with DeSai Learning to provide blended learning curriculums that maximize the benefits of technology, personalized instruction, and peer interaction.
