RCI Technology in Education 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: When using a projector during a Red Cross CPR class, the room lighting should be adjusted to:
- Turn off all lights completely
- Dim lights enough to see the screen while participants can still see each other (Correct answer)
- Keep all lights fully on regardless of screen visibility
- Use only emergency exit lighting
Correct answer: Dim lights enough to see the screen while participants can still see each other
Dimming lights balances screen visibility with participant safety and engagement during hands-on training.
Question 2: A Red Cross instructor wants to record a skills session for participant review. What must be obtained first?
- Approval from the local chapter director
- Written consent from all participants being recorded (Correct answer)
- A professional-grade camera
- Red Cross national headquarters authorization
Correct answer: Written consent from all participants being recorded
Recording participants requires informed written consent to respect privacy rights and comply with applicable laws.
Question 3: Which digital assessment feature is most valuable for Red Cross instructors teaching large groups?
- Automated scoring that provides immediate individual feedback (Correct answer)
- Manual grading submitted by email within 48 hours
- Paper bubble sheets scanned at the end of the course
- Verbal announcements of all participant scores
Correct answer: Automated scoring that provides immediate individual feedback
Automated scoring with immediate feedback allows instructors to identify and address skill gaps in real time during large sessions.
Question 4: An online Red Cross course module fails to load for a participant on their smartphone. The BEST first troubleshooting step is:
- Tell the participant to purchase a computer
- Ask the participant to clear their browser cache and try again (Correct answer)
- Cancel that participant's enrollment
- Report a system outage to Red Cross national IT
Correct answer: Ask the participant to clear their browser cache and try again
Clearing the browser cache resolves many page-loading issues caused by outdated or corrupted cached data.
Question 5: Red Cross blended learning courses combine online content with in-person sessions primarily to:
- Reduce the number of certified instructors needed
- Allow participants to complete knowledge components at their own pace before hands-on practice (Correct answer)
- Eliminate the need for skills verification
- Replace manikin practice with video simulation entirely
Correct answer: Allow participants to complete knowledge components at their own pace before hands-on practice
Blended learning optimizes class time for hands-on skills by moving knowledge acquisition online before the in-person session.
Question 6: When an instructor uses social media to promote an upcoming Red Cross certification class, they should:
- Share participant names and contact information to attract sign-ups
- Use only Red Cross-approved messaging and branding guidelines (Correct answer)
- Guarantee specific employment outcomes to attract participants
- Post class details on personal accounts using any format desired
Correct answer: Use only Red Cross-approved messaging and branding guidelines
Red Cross brand standards must be followed on social media to maintain organizational credibility and legal compliance.
Question 7: An AED trainer device is BEST described as:
- A real AED with the shock circuit disabled for training use
- A non-functional prop used only for demonstration by the instructor
- A device that simulates AED prompts and scenarios without delivering actual electrical shocks (Correct answer)
- A software application that replaces physical AED practice
Correct answer: A device that simulates AED prompts and scenarios without delivering actual electrical shocks
AED trainer devices replicate real AED audio and visual prompts so participants can practice the full sequence safely without any electrical risk.
