What is the difference in #online, #blended, and #virtual courses? Online courses are entirely online, self paced, without an instructor. Blended courses are half online, and half in class in person with an instructor. The online component must be completed before the classroom component. Virtual delivery is live, at specific times, with an instructor and classmates over Zoom.

How do you know a person needs CPR? 2020 guidelines stress looking for unresponsiveness and lack of normal breathing.
