This rich, online course teaches driver safety with innovative metaphors, game-style learning exercises, and rich media.  For global companies like Barrick Gold, this course became the most popular course introduced to their workforce.  What's more, it became the imputus for cultural shifts with the mindsets and behaviors centered around driver safety resulting in more than a 50% reduction on vehicle-related incidents over a 2 year period.

 

 

In our driver safety course, the host interacts with alter-egos in the form of imps - which serve as metaphors for the voices in our heads that consciously or unconsciously affect our decisions while driving. These characters offer comic relief and help leaner identify with common inner-narratives.

Platform delivery:

We can deliver via web - installed on either a UNIX or Windows server, SCORM compliant LMS, or other LMS platforms as well as DVD/CD ROM delivery for individual desktop training.

Versions:

The Driver Safety or Defensive Driving course can be run in either Self-paced or Instructor-facilitated mode. Self-paced is intended for individuals to navigate through the material at their own pace from a computer screen. The Instructor-facilitated (IFT or “classroom”) version is intended to be delivered via a projected computer screen to a group led by an instructor.

Navigation:

The course navigation is standard linear-type navigation. The student is forced to take lessons consecutively.  However, lessons are reviewable at any time after completion by clicking the lesson names along the top navigation bar. Free navigation is implemented in the IFT version, unlocking all the lessons in the top navigation bar and includes a button to jump forward through the course (usually video by video).

Final Quiz:

The Driver Safety course includes a quiz following the completion of the lessons. The quiz consists of multiple choice and true-false questions. Clicking on the answer text will select that answer and move to the next question. In the Instructor Facilitated (IFT) version, there is an option to see the correct answer throughout the quiz.  After answering the ten quiz questions, any incorrect questions appear on the screen with the option to re-take the missed question or to review the relevant lesson. If a question is re-taken and missed, the student will need to review the lesson before retaking the question again. Students must answer each question correctly before they are allowed to finish the module.

Certificate of Completion:

A certificate of completion is available to print on the final screen after completing the course and the final quiz. The Instructor Facilitated version of the course can include a multiple student input function for printing several certificates at one time.
