RCI Technology in Education 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which statement BEST describes accessibility considerations when selecting technology for Red Cross instruction?
- Technology accessibility only applies to participants with documented disabilities
- Digital tools should meet ADA and WCAG standards to accommodate diverse learner needs (Correct answer)
- Accessibility is the responsibility of the participant, not the instructor
- Only the online pre-course modules need to be accessible
Correct answer: Digital tools should meet ADA and WCAG standards to accommodate diverse learner needs
ADA and WCAG compliance ensures that digital instructional tools are usable by participants with visual, auditory, or motor disabilities.
Question 2: A participant's blended learning online completion record cannot be found before the in-person session. The instructor should:
- Begin the in-person session without verifying completion
- Have the participant repeat the full online module on a provided device before skills practice begins (Correct answer)
- Issue a provisional certificate and verify later
- Immediately cancel the participant's enrollment
Correct answer: Have the participant repeat the full online module on a provided device before skills practice begins
Prerequisite online completion must be verified before in-person skills training to meet Red Cross course integrity requirements.
Question 3: When displaying CPR video scenarios on a screen during class, the instructor should ensure:
- The video is played at 2x speed to save class time
- Audio is loud enough for all participants to hear clearly without distortion (Correct answer)
- Participants take notes instead of watching to improve retention
- Videos are shown only at the end of the class as a review
Correct answer: Audio is loud enough for all participants to hear clearly without distortion
Clear, undistorted audio ensures all participants can hear instructions and cues within instructional video scenarios.
Question 4: A Red Cross instructor wants to use a third-party CPR app during class. According to Red Cross guidelines, they should:
- Use any popular health app freely, as content is generally reliable
- Only use apps officially approved or recommended by the American Red Cross (Correct answer)
- Check the app store rating before using the app in class
- Use the app if it was developed by a hospital or medical institution
Correct answer: Only use apps officially approved or recommended by the American Red Cross
Only Red Cross-approved apps and digital tools should be used to ensure content accuracy and alignment with current guidelines.
Question 5: Which practice BEST ensures data security when using an online class roster system for Red Cross courses?
- Sharing login credentials with co-instructors for convenience
- Using unique login credentials and logging out after each session (Correct answer)
- Saving the roster as a public shared document for easy access
- Printing and posting the roster on the classroom door
Correct answer: Using unique login credentials and logging out after each session
Unique credentials and proper logout protect participant personal data from unauthorized access.
Question 6: During a virtual Red Cross skills check, the instructor notices a participant's camera angle does not clearly show hand placement during chest compressions. The instructor should:
- Pass the participant based on their verbal description of correct technique
- Ask the participant to reposition their camera or device to capture a clear view before evaluating (Correct answer)
- End the virtual session and require an in-person makeup
- Mark the skill as satisfactory and note the technical issue in records
Correct answer: Ask the participant to reposition their camera or device to capture a clear view before evaluating
A clear camera view is required for accurate skills evaluation; repositioning resolves the issue without penalizing the participant.
Question 7: The primary purpose of using a classroom response system (clicker or app-based polling) during Red Cross instruction is to:
- Permanently replace written final exams
- Increase participant engagement and provide the instructor with real-time comprehension data (Correct answer)
- Automate certificate issuance after polling results
- Track participant attendance without a sign-in sheet
Correct answer: Increase participant engagement and provide the instructor with real-time comprehension data
Response systems boost engagement through active participation and give instructors immediate insight into group understanding.
