Summary

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a massive open online course (MOOC) for training lay first responders in sub-Saharan Africa. The research team will assess educational outcomes of first responder training implemented at program locations in Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Uganda, and Kenya, through previously validated pre- and post-course survey instruments, standardized patient assessments, and incident reporting. The research team will investigate efficacy of MOOC training amongst diverse populations with variable technology literacy and utilize data gathered to develop more efficient means of disseminating basic first aid training information.
