We all know someone who has had a concussion. In fact, one in five Canadians report a sport-related concussion in their lifetime and an estimated one in 10 youth sustains a sport-related concussion each year. To learn how to prevent, identify and manage concussions, the University of Calgary and Université Laval have partnered to create a MOOC (massive open online course) with the goal of improving concussion prevention, detection and management. Dubbed Demystifying Concussion 101, a second iteration of this successful course is open for registration with the course running in the fall of 2020. “Concussions are a serious public health concern with the ongoing challenge of dissemination of the latest evidence-informed recommendations for concussion prevention, detection and management to all stakeholders involved in concussion,” says Dr. Kathryn Schneider, PT, PhD, an associate professor and clinician scientist (physiotherapist) in the Sport Injury Prevention Research Centre in the kinesiology faculty. Schneider is also a member of the Integrated Concussion Research Program and both the Hotchkiss Brain Institute and the Alberta Children’s Hospital Research Institute (ACRHI) at the Cumming School of Medicine.
Accessible to everyone. The public course is developed for parents, coaches, teachers, health-care professionals and those who have experienced a concussion in school and sport environments. Last year, 8,591 participants signed up for the University of Calgary’s MOOC. No prerequisites are required; however, a certificate of achievement can be requested for a small fee for those who have completed the course and have a pass mark on the exams.
