Setup a Blended Learning Course

Deliver ARC online access through Hovn and streamline blended class delivery

🎯 Use this when:

You need to create a blended ARC course where students complete the online learning through the American Red Cross, and you deliver the in-person skills session. Hovn delivers ARC access links directly through the student portal, so learners don’t need to search their inbox or dig for the course.

✅ Outcome:

ARC online access link delivered to each student via Hovn
Materials bundled at checkout
Course structure reflects blended learning (online + skills)
Instructor can verify student progress in ARC
Roster submitted and eCards issued through Hovn

🧭 Overview & Prerequisites

Before you begin:

You must have ARC Partner Portal access (must be listed as an Admin under your LTP agreement)
You should know which ARC blended course you are setting up (e.g., BLS, ALS)
You'll need to create a reusable ARC online access link
You'll create a Material in Hovn for that ARC link
You'll create a Course Offering with both segments: online + instructor-led

🔗 Step 1 — Configure Online Access Link

Start in the ARC Learning Center.

Log into ARC Learning Center
Click Request Online Class
Select your organization
Search for the correct blended learning product (e.g., Basic Life Support Blended)
Choose an end date (we recommend Dec 31 of the current year)
Enter a high number of learners (ARC does not charge per seat)
Submit as a $0 transaction
Copy the generated URL

📌 Use this same link all year. You can request a new one next year to keep your records clean.

📦 Step 2 — Add ARC Online Access Material in Hovn

Now deliver that ARC URL via Hovn.

Go to Materials → Add a Material
Select the American Red Cross version of the course (e.g., “ARC BLS Online”)
Leave the price at $0
Hovn will auto-fill the title, description, and access instructions
Paste the ARC URL from Step 1 into the Access Link field
Click Save

🎯 Hovn will now deliver this material automatically to every student in their portal.

🧪 Step 3 — Create the Blended Course Offering
