[Openises-general] 3-Lead ECG Review Workbook Released

[Bob <man...@ve...>]

We have been able to upload the initial release of the 3-lead ECG Review
Workbook, Student and Instructor versions. Currently the pdf version of
the workbook is the only one available. The Acrobat version is under 2MB
in size, while the OpenDocument version created with Open Office is over
70MB. We are going to be working on reducing the size of the
OpenDocument file to a more reasonable level. This will most likely come
about by reducing the size of the graphics, most notably the cover page
and the ECG rhythm strips themselves.

Let us know what you think of the workbook so far. We plan to add more
information at a later time, basically expanding the workbook to cover a
wide range of basic knowledge of ECGs that would typically be needed by
the new paramedic student. Let us know what you think should be
included, or tell us how you want to be involved in the on-going
development of the workbook. 

We have also been working on a SCORM format of the workbook. This would
allow the workbook to be uploaded to a Learning Content Management
System (LCMS) such as Claroline or Moodle. More on this as we get closer
to a release.
