Set your learners up for success before they ever walk into the room. Here’s how:

• 📧 Use our ready-to-send learner email
  Download or copy this pre-written email to explain the station’s purpose, what they’ll be practicing, and how to come prepared. It includes links, expectations, and reminders to bring a mobile device and headphones. 👉 Click here to download the learner email template
• 🔗 Send them the digital learning space
  You can also simply share this link to the Hyperangulated Video Laryngoscopy page. This gives them a head start on understanding the blade, the geometry, and the core concepts they’ll be practicing.
• 📱 Bring a Mobile Device & Headphones
  Learners should bring a mobile device and headphones so they can use the QR codes on the poster to access videos and checklists on the fly. This is essential!
• 🗺️ Open User Guide
  During training, learners can open the user guide on their device, answer questions, and earn points towards completion.

Everything learners need to know about using the space is available on the website. This brief can be used to get new in-person learners up to speed on what to expect and how to use the space.

Welcome to the PAC Physical Learning Space—an immersive, hands-on environment designed to help you build real procedural skill. Each station pairs physical airway equipment with interactive posters and QR codes that link directly to digital content. Bring your mobile device and headphones so you can access videos, guides, and challenges that walk you through key techniques. This is your time to practice deliberately, sharpen your technique, and build confidence.

Use your User Guide to track your progress and navigate the stations at your own pace. After you’ve worked through the self-directed material, seek out a faculty coach for feedback or jump into one of our simulation challenges to apply what you’ve learned. You’ll get the most out of this experience if you stay curious, engage fully, and collaborate with your peers. Let’s get to work.

The Protected Airway Collaborative system is built to be as rewarding for faculty as it is for learners. This is not a lecture. It’s not a checklist. It’s not a pass/fail test. This is immersive, deliberate practice — targeted, interactive, and fun — for both learners and educators. You’re not just teaching airway skills. You’re helping learners build confidence, refine their technique, and personalize their learning journey.

Every interaction you have with a learner is a chance to translate knowledge into performance. The coaching you provide turns good mental models into reliable, real-world airway skills.

🧠 Teaching Tips

• Supportive, low-pressure coaching.
• Start with coaching phrases:
  • “Walk me through how you’d approach this.”
  • “Let’s start by having you show me your technique.”
• Adapt to the learner’s level.
• Small targeted corrections.
• Build confidence, not perfection.
• Direct back to self-guided modules for ongoing refinement.

There is a comprehensive coaching guide available here, which includes learning objectives, key concepts and skills, coaching resources, and a printable quick reference guide for faculty to use at the stations.
