The Canadian Red Cross has developed an online learning centre to deliver its award-winning prevention education via the Internet. RespectED’s innovative training features an updated curriculum based on the latest research in the field. Learners can gain knowledge of all forms of child/youth maltreatment. The etiology, incidence and prevalence, indicators and effects of all forms of abuse, neglect, bullying and harassment are covered throughout different courses in this program. Online resources include a variety of learning activities and videovignettes, and a printed manual will be provided to learners.

Overview of online workshop and course formats

All online training currently offered through Red Cross OnLine falls under one of two formats.

Workshops:

Include a one-month online access
Workshop modules can be accessed at any time (24/7) during the one-month period
Are un-facilitated (i.e. are not led by an instructor)
Learning is done through online presentations, activities and self-directed assignments
Take about 4-6 hours to complete
Workbook and certificate of participation included with the course
Successful completion is solely based on the results tracked electronically in Red Cross OnLine.

Courses or Training Programs:

Include 7-12 weeks online access
Courses or modules can be accessed at any time (24/7) during the 7-12 week period (weekly assignment due dates must be observed)
Are facilitated by a certified RespectED Trainer
Learning is done through online presentations, readings, activities and interactive, cohort-based assignments including asynchronous discussions and email group work
Participants must ensure they schedule on average 5-6 hours per week in which to complete the course work
Successful completion of facilitated courses or programs is based upon the participant’s Knowledge Assessment Test (KAT) scores, completion of all assignments, participation in the Discussion Groups and a final assessment/discussion with the instructor.

The longer courses or programs can be taken as intensive professional development training, or as the theoretical part of RespectED Educator training (refer to the Taking RespectED into the community section for more information).
