How to un-boring drug and alcohol training

Hi,
I have to jazz up our drug and alcohol management online training package. I am looking for any great links, ideas, graphics etc for this project. I want to be able to engage and pass along (yes, it is more of an information pkg than a training pkg) the important details. Any suggestions, thoughts, well wishes would be greatly appreciated.
background: air traffic control and aerodrome fire fighting workplace. Many technical type personalities. Use articulate for design work. Still resistant to online training, mainly due to several long and boring mandated previously...time for a paradigm shift!
cheers (in advance)

Hi AJ.
Welcome to the Heroes Community.
Perhaps start by going down the "What can happen if you get it wrong" route?
1 glass before going into the tower leads to ---> x% impairment --> what?
1 bottle of wine the night before leads to x% impairment upto x hours later --> things fall from the skies etc.
Sure you will get other ideas.
Once again a warm welcome.

PS - do it as an interactive infographic?
Here's an idea. Use photos in the course and as the course progresses and the user takes a drink, make the images blurrier and blurrier using PPT 2010's native formatting tools. Or in words sentences are mixed up.
Here is the best drug and alcohol course I have seen

thanks for the great ideas, it is giving me a good, creative start!
Glad to hear it AJ and Welcome to E-Learning Heroes by the way! I just love that your first question was how to 'un-boring' a course Hope you have a great day!
Hi AJ,
I'd be interested in hearing what you came up with for your A&D elearning. I'm being asked to revamp a 150+ PPT (ALL BULLETPOINTS!) for A&D policy training and I need some assistance. Can you tell me what approach you took and let me know how it was received?
thanks
Jennifer
Hi Jennifer and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!
Not sure if AJ is subscribed to the thread or not and you may want to shoot a private message that way just in case.
If you need assistance I have just built a Responsible Serving of Alcohol course, see the demo at

Thanks for sharing Mary :)
Wish I had seen this BEFORE I created ours. Good work! Thanks for sharing.
Hope that means yours was 'un-boring' as well Gwen :) Love when these older threads are still assisting and sparking ideas for others.
The link doesnt seem to work.
Hey Adam,
This discussion is a bit older, so you may want to message Phil directly as well using the "contact me" button on his profile. If you're looking for other examples you may also want to take a look at the E-Learning Examples page here.
HI Phil, the link to the "best drug and alcohol course" is not working. Any chance you can re-post?

I think they amend the link
