HeartCode is the online portion of BLS, ACLS, or PALS blended learning that will prepare students for hands-on practice and testing of skills. It uses a personalized adaptive algorithm that sets students on the most efficient path to content mastery. Students follow a continuously adapting learning path that is personalized by their own inputs: their performance, and their self- reported confidence level related to each probing question. The course content is presented in the form of self-directed learning content, probing questions, and Cognitive Assessment Activities (CAAs). After completing the eLearning component, students perform their skills with an AHA Instructor or a HeartCode compatible manikin that provides real-time audio and visual feedback. Students must successfully complete both the cognitive portion and the hands-on skills session to receive an AHA BLS, ACLS, or PALS Provider eCard, valid for two years.

Yes, the learning objectives for both delivery methods of BLS, ACLS, or PALS Provider Courses are the same.

The 2015 Guidelines HeartCode program uses eSimulation to teach cognitive knowledge. The 2020 Guidelines HeartCode uses a personalized adaptive algorithm that sets students on the most efficient path to mastery. Students follow a continuously adapting learning path that is personalized by their own inputs: their performance, and their self- reported confidence level related to each probing question. The course content is presented in the form of self-directed learning content, probing questions, and Cognitive Assessment Activities (CAAs).

Because of the adaptive technology used in these courses, the completion time for the online portion of HeartCode courses varies based on the student’s self-assessment and knowledge of the cognitive material.
