One connected platform

The textbook, the practice, the tests, and the gradebook are designed as a single course, so every lesson leads naturally to the next.

For students, every chapter is available as text, narrated audio, and video, so each student can learn the way that suits them. Chapters are organized into manageable lessons, each with current, standards-based theory, knowledge checks, a chapter test, and case studies that deepen understanding. As lessons are completed, the Student Dashboard records progress, highlights strengths, and recommends what to study next — guiding each student through the course lesson by lesson.

For instructors, the Instructor Dashboard brings the class together on one screen: add and edit students, take attendance, follow each student's progress, see grades update in real time, message the class, and identify anyone who is falling behind.

Read, or listen

Every lesson is professionally designed, with content in multiple formats — including complete audio narration — so students can learn anywhere: while commuting, at the gym, or between shifts.

Practice as they go

Knowledge checks in every lesson and end-of-chapter reviews tie the content together, while NREMT-style questions prepare each student for their exam.

See who needs help

The Instructor Dashboard shows each student's progress, time on task, and scores — so you know who's ahead, who's stuck, and who may need help.

Assign with due dates

Set due dates for assigned lessons, tests, and other assignments. Assignments update on the Student Dashboard in real time.

Message in-platform

Communicate with the whole class or an individual student right from the dashboard, so everyone stays connected and up to date on important information. Students can ask questions and coordinate with classmates about assignments without exchanging personal information.

Written to current standards

Clinical content is written to the National EMS Education Standards and reviewed against the 2025 AHA Guidelines by licensed instructors.

Inside the reader

Read, listen, and check your understanding — all on one page.

Each lesson pairs the text with narrated audio, a lesson video, and a knowledge check at the moment it matters. Students can read a section, listen on the go, watch the video, and check what they've learned as they move through it — so they stay engaged and keep making real progress.

Chapter 12 · Patient Assessment
The Primary Assessment
Listening · 1.25× 78% complete

The primary assessment is your first, rapid pass at a patient — a systematic search for anything that could take a life in the next few minutes. Form a general impression, check responsiveness, then work airway, breathing, and circulation in order, fixing each threat before you move to the next.

Knowledge check

An adult is unresponsive with slow, shallow breathing. What is your immediate priority?

How it works

Getting started is straightforward: create your cohort, assign the term, and teach.

You create the cohort, choose the term's assignments, and teach from the dashboard. DracoEMS sends the invitations, builds each student's syllabus, grades the tests, and keeps the gradebook current.

Create your cohort

Set up your class, add your students by email, and DracoEMS sends each one a private invitation to join.

Assign the work

Choose the lessons, tests, and other assignments for your term and set due dates. Students see a complete syllabus and know exactly what to expect.

Teach from the dashboard

Watch progress and scores update in real time, spot who's falling behind, and reach them before it matters.

Instructor dashboard

The whole class, at a glance.

Progress, time-on-task, and scores for every student you teach — with a clear signal of who needs a nudge before the next class, not after the final.

  • See only your assigned students, across every term.
  • Flags show you which students need attention this week.
  • Message the whole class or one student from the same screen.
  • Export grades whenever your program asks for them.
