• Case Studies have been designed for optional use during the course. Possible uses of case studies include: 1. Small group interaction with a case study presentation to the entire group. 2. Small group interaction with each group reviewing all cases for discussion within the individual group. 3. Instructor presents each case to participants for group discussion. 4. Instructor presents each case to participants for them to answer on their own in a written format. 5. Participants receive all case studies for essay completion on their own. Instructors whose institutions have live conferencing available are allowed to host a course using this technology. Participants must be able to interact with the instructor and they must participate in the “live course.” Instructors should assign a test proctor at the satellite location who will be responsible for overseeing the exam and evaluation process. The proctor should submit a proctor agreement. The proctor agreement is located on the Instructor Only website. • Instructors who wish to collaborate with another institution using live video conferencing must notify APHON HQ prior to the administration of the course. One Lead Instructor must be identified. The Lead Instructor will take responsibility for submitting the registration roster and ordering all course manuals. • As you may or may not know, our new roster template has an area where a course can be flagged as a “Video Conference” course. The process to set u p the course is the same as previously mentioned in the Roster Submission Overview portion. 6. Video/Web Conference Provider Courses: • Key codes were recently implemented to avoid book sharing. Key codes, as previously mentioned, are pre-printed on the inside front cover of each curriculum. This key code will ensure that each participant has access to their exam at the end of the two-day course. • A Key Code FAQ sheet has been created for instructors. You can find this document saved in the library of the Instructor Community. • The key codes will consist of the following: letters (both upper case and lower case) and numbers. For ease of use and troubleshooting, below are the implemented rules: o No zeroes were used. If it looks like a zero, it is really an uppercase O. o There are no lowercase L's. If it looks like a lowercase L, it is a 1 (one) or uppercase I. o There is no number 5's. If it looks like a 5, it is a uppercase S. • Q: Once someone uses a code, can they re-use it? Once a code is validated and accepted, no one else will be able to use that code. • Q: What if my book does not have a code in it? Please contact APHON to be issued a new key code. • Q: Do I need a new code if I fail my first attempt and need to retake the exam? No, one key code grants you access to both the first attempt, and if failed the second. If you fail the second attempt, you will need to contact APHON for further steps. • Q: I tried using my key code and it says it has already been used, what do I do? Contact APHON when this occurs, we will issue you a new key code. 7. Exam Key Codes: •
