Consultancy: Blended Learning approaches using First Aid App

The objective of the consultancy is to better inform the GDPC on strategic engagement opportunities with national societies on the First Aid app. The work will contribute to the broader discussion on how technology focused tools can be integrated into a holistic engagement strategy to better support people’s ability to prepare for and respond to First Aid emergencies.

Drawing on existing experiences with Red Cross First Aid training across different countries, the work will explore approaches to blended learning to identify opportunities for the integration of the app in First Aid training approaches. This work will entail:

• Analysis of blended learning approaches that include an app based mobile learning component
• Analysis of existing blended learning approaches for First Aid in the RCRC network
• Consult with national societies already using a blended learning approach for First Aid training to identify opportunities for the integration of the First Aid app
• Establish a blended learning approach that fits the concept of the First Aid app and identify future trends
• Develop guidance for the GDPC and national societies on how to design a blended learning approach for First Aid training including with the First Aid app
• Provide recommendations on possible changes/enhancements to the First Aid app to better support blended learning.
