Luma “Brighter Learning,” a learning and instructional design company that helps carriers save time and money with orientation training, announced a new game-based interactive module for Hazardous Materials Training.
Anyone who has been in charge of hazmat training can attest that there is a lot of essential content to remember, notes Dr. Gina Anderson, Luma’s chief executive officer.
“The average person can only hold 7 +/- 2 pieces of information in their working memory,” said Anderson. When flipping through the Hazardous Emergency Response Guidebook, it “made my mind spin,” she noted. “We talked to drivers and carriers and they had the same reaction. We wanted to help drivers access and learn this content.”
With more than 20 years in the education field, Luma studies driver learning preferences to deliver the best possible content in a way that is most meaningful to them, she says.
The Interactive Emergency Guidebook is the latest addition to the DRIVE FIRST collection of more than 100 individual modules that cover various topics motor carriers use for driver orientation and ongoing training.
Luma uses an E2A Instructional Model for all of its short, individual training modules called eNuggets in the DRIVE FIRST collection. “E2A” stands for Engagement, Efficiency and Authenticity.
