Abstract

The use of rich media to enhance a learner-centered approach of distance teaching is the driving force behind a suicide prevention training program that has drawn international attention. A systematic design for innovative instruction was developed to improve nursing student motivation to learn. It addresses a perceived problem of demonstrated poor attention during instruction, low confidence levels for completing assignments, and overall low levels of satisfaction from instruction. Using a business model for distribution, this suicide prevention instruction is used by crisis line workers, law enforcement, firemen, emergency medical technicians, clergy, case managers, correction workers, and others who come in contact with people at risk for suicide throughout the world. This presentation will demonstrate the rich-media employed in the delivery of this instructional module, show the motivating design, and will illustrate research, media advancements, and methods of distribution.
