Welcome

Welcome to Pegasus Lectures eCourse education series. Developed to provide affordable access to state-of-the-art educational programs, this series brings expert faculty directly into your home.

By integrating best practices for online learning, you can maximize your limited study time. Features include 24/7 viewing, dual video streaming, interactive questions, viewable playlist, modular delivery, customized review, note-taking, eCourse materials, and CME.

Creating a Review SectionTo enhance your learning experience we have added a unique feature to Pegasus Direct; the ability to create a cus-tomized review session. To view the playlist, click on the Playlist icon (Figure 9). The Playlist (Figure 10) displays the time code and topic for each segment within the module.

As you identify areas of weakness while viewing the eCourse or want to note topics of particular interest, simply click on the R to bookmark that segment for review. Pegasus Direct will recall the sections you have bookmarked, creating a customized review session for later viewing.

During the review, use the playlist to navigate through the bookmarked topics. You will also be able to access unmarked segments during the review period. For each module, you are given 75% of the initial viewing time for review (i.e. for a two hour module you are given an additional 1.5 hours of review). Your remaining review time will be displayed on both the Account Summary and the Control Bar.

Viewing Time

There is no expiration date on the eCourse. You can view it on your schedule, at your pace. After you have com-pleted both the viewing and review time of a module, your Account Summary (Figure 11) will indicate Time Expired for that particular module. It is rare for participants to use all of the optional review time, however, if you need additional instruction on a particular topic, we can reset the module(s).

To have your module reset, email: [email protected].

Important: Pegasus Lectures reserves the right to not reset modules if the eCourse is being accessed by multiple IP addresses or there are excessive reset requests, indicating multiple users are accessing the course.

CME CenterThe CME Center is accessible from the My Pegasus home page (Figure 12) and serves to centralize all of your CME quizzes and certificates. Issued certificates are listed by date. Clicking on Access CME Quizzes (Figure 13)will take you to a listing of all of your purchased modules with the CME status of each activity (Figure 14).

Once a module is viewed in its entirety, the CME link becomes active with the prompt ‘Start CME Quiz’. The number of quiz attempts and your highest score are recorded. The Credits column indicates the number of eligible credits per module. Once you have successfully completed the CME quiz, the ‘Select’ prompt becomes active.

If you wish to have one certificate for the entire set of modules, wait until all of the “select’ buttons are active and then click ‘Process selected CME’ only once (Figure 14). If you wish to obtain an individual certificate per module (not recommended unless you only are processing a few modules), you can select the desired module(s) and then click on ‘Process selected CME’.

Technical TipsFor optimal viewing, we recommend that you:

1. Make certain that you have high speed internet connection. Dial up connections and some wireless con-nections may be too slow to stream video smoothly, creating an interrupted presentation. If the bandwidth of your internet connection is too low to stream video (jerkiness or stuttering of the video), contact your internet provider to verify that you have adequate download speeds to watch streaming video.

2. Close all other internet applications.

3. Close other programs, especially any programs that may tax your computer’s resources.

4. Use a headset for optimal audio quality.

5. Set the screen resolution to larger than 1024 x 768. If you cannot set the screen size to larger than 1024 x 768, part of the player may not appear on screen, in which case you can use the “full screen” mode so that the videos are sized appropriately. Note that if you use the “full screen” setting and your monitor setting is too large, the video may begin to appear pixilated.

Study AidsPegasus offers several types of educational products designed to complement the online eCourses and live semi-nars. In particular, our ExamSim programs assess your level of exam preparedness through a patented Intelligent Analysis Technology. These patented programs analyze your specific areas of weakness, evaluate your test-taking habits, pinpoint questions types that you get wrong and give you a detailed report by topic and categories.

If you would like to talk to a registered sonographer to determine which study aids fit your specific learning style, please contact Carol Gannon RN, RVT, RDCS, FSVU at 972.564.3056 Ext 205 or by email at [email protected].
