Understanding and Offering Homestudy and Hybrid Programs

Understanding and Offering Homestudy and Hybrid Programs

There are unique and necessary requirements for homestudy programs (in which there is no opportunity for live interaction with presenters) and hybrid programs (in which there is a combination of homestudy and live components). The purpose of this toolkit is to provide resources to support delivery of quality continuing education for homestudy and hybrid CE programs based on their specific needs, such as assessments of learning and sufficient systems to verify attendance.
