The curriculum includes an array of innovative multimedia tools, which were specially designed for the course. It consists of six asynchronous, distinct, and detailed modules. Each of these involves reading assignments, interactive and reflective exercises, and discussion components. The course material is presented in multiple ways, in order to accommodate different learning styles, and information is provided with the use of visual, auditory, and written aids.

Although the course is asynchronous and does not require participants to be on the platform at the same time, it is designed so that students are moving through the material at an equitable pace and learning each section’s content during a one-week period. This serves to maximize participant engagement with peers and with the course instructor in order to create a robust learning environment with a vibrant exchange of ideas, solutions, and best practices.

‍‍The goals of the REPAIR program are as follows:

1. To instill in participants the values of promoting and protecting civil and human rights, and to examine the factors which put societies at risk for violating those rights. 
2. To emphasize the ways in which the promotion and protection of civil and human rights by law enforcement plays a role in the prevention of grave human rights violations. 
3. To sensitize law enforcement personnel to the systemic features of policing structures that may negatively affect communities of color, as well as the implicit bias that can impact decision-making at an individual level. 
4. To apply those lessons to the challenges facing police today in serving diverse communities in a deeply divided society.
