Food safety ideas

Feb 12, 2011

Hi,

Looking for some inspiration for a food safety training program that I need to convert to an e-learning course.

My current idea is to have 4 sections:

  1. Intro to food safety
  2. Potentially hazardous foods
  3. Food safety factors
  4. Food safety program

I was going to have users able to select the section they want but feel it is then getting very linear, once they are in each section. Section 2 was going to have a selection of food types and they have to identify if they are high or low risk foods. Not sure if this will  be a drag and drop and how many pages this will take (up to 30 images).

Any new ideas would be appreciated.

I would suggest that you present this in a mutli-teared scenario based enviornment. I.e. you are a worker at Pop-up Johnny's and someone left a mayonnaise container out over night. Do you use the unrefrigerated mayonnaise or not? If they do, say two weeks later the health department closes down Johnny's due to a salmonella outbreak.

Again, start off with goals that you want to obtain from the training that are measurable and obtainable. If your goal is to simply inform, a YouTube clip could do that. You will also need to make the training relevant and memorable by the learner.

Those are some great ideas, James Brown!

Matthew, your question reminded me of a few cool examples Allison LaMotte created on a similar topic. Here they are in case you're interested in grabbing a copy. 

I hope that sparks some ideas!
