This workshop provides you a unique opportunity to prepare for the CRC exam and practice taking computerized tests similar to the CRC. The online learning format allows you to access material nearly anywhere and anytime Internet access is available.

With the recent creation of a CRC exam preparation course by CRC, we thought it would be helpful to clearly lay out the differences in the two courses, which you can see in the table below.

The workshop is offered before each CRC Exam.

This course will provide an overview of each type of device and some of the applications most relevant to individuals with disabilities. You will learn how to use the “acceptability factor” of these devices to your advantage as you create excitement and interest in using mainstream devices such as these as assistive technology. Through real life scenarios, you’ll learn how this technology applies to the field of rehabilitation. The focus of the course is down-to-earth and readily applicable information.

The emphasis of this online course is on real ethical dilemmas provided by people working in the field of vocational rehabilitation. Participants share an ethical dilemma and work through it using the relevant content provided in the course and the assistance of other participants. This approach allows participants to learn about other dilemmas faced in the profession and share their experience to help others. Participants also will explore their own values and perceptions of ethics to determine how that affects their ethical behavior.

Units:

Participants will work through these three content areas which will be provided in writing or in interactive Flash tutorials. Discussion activities are all written. Most of the time spent on the course will involve writing responses to discussion activities and reading/responding to others' messages.

The overall objective for this training is to increase sensitivity to ethical problems that are work related and to enhance the practitioners' ethical reasoning ability. Thus the content of this course will focus primarily on ethical awareness and ethical reasoning.

To accommodate as many people as possible, we offer two options:

These courses are developed specifically for working professionals and focus on direct applications for your work. Courses are asynchronous, which means there are no specific times to log-in; you can work on the course when it's convenient for you. They include hands-on learning activities and case studies to promote learning. You will have opportunities to interact with other training participants through written discussions and a course facilitator is available to provide feedback and assistance. Content is often provided in various modalities such as videos and interactive Flash tutorials to appeal to different learning styles. All courses other than the CRC Exam Preparation Workshop are pre-approved by CRC and CEUs through UW-Stout.
