Guidelines for Completing the Program Evaluation
Learners may be asked to complete a survey evaluation of their respective program. This will be made available to you on your Wounds Canada Institute portal/dashboard once you have completed all the required elements of the program. Certificates will be released after a completed program evaluation has been submitted.
Guidelines for Webinars
- Programs with a webinar component are designed to be interactive and support learners to apply knowledge learned in the online modules to a clinical case. Learners are encouraged to actively participate in the case discussion as much as possible and gain valuable ideas and clinical pearls of wisdom from faculty who are renowned expert clinicians and wound care leaders. Between 35% to 72% of the 90-minute webinar will be dedicated to interactive learner discussion and questions.
- To promote interactive learner participation, most webinars have pre-prepared handouts that include a case study or clinical scenario as well as a list of questions that will be addressed during the live webinar. This handout will be available after learners register to attend the live webinar. Learners may be required review the handout before the scheduled webinar and come to the live session ready to contribute and address the case and questions.
- Our webinars are facilitated using Zoom. Learners do not need a Zoom account to attend a session and are strongly encouraged to participate using a laptop or desktop computer. IT support is available if needed. Eligible learners will be provided with a link to join the webinar in advance of the day of the webinar.
- During webinars, learners are expected to encourage others to learn and participate, support a friendly environment, demonstrate reflection, challenge new thoughts or ways of thinking, and include useful information and resources
- It is the learner’s responsibility to manage the environment they are in whenever they are participating in live webinar/Zoom sessions associated with this program.
