E-learning for risk education Demonstration e-learning package to teach undergraduate engineers of all diciplines in relation to the key concepts in health and safety risks The sample is in the form of a CD and contains introductory material, a simulation and related tutorial material developed for learning in a ’gaming’ context, and several illustrative examples of other interactive tutorial material. 23

A CD contains the following: An eye-catching set of video clips highlighting the importance of the issues being considered Introductory material which explains the background, content and future intentions for the project. Guidance is also given on how the material can be best used A draft simulation of a construction site. ’Video game’ where the user is asked to spot hazards, given guidance on the impact and nature of the hazards and introduced to the concept of risk assessment with appropiare input and feedback 24

A CD contains the following cont.: A variety of tutorial material (which can be related to the simulations or can stand alone). The sample material includes comparing risks, factors affecting risk perception, and introduction to terminology (specifically ’risk’ and ’hazard’) and an example of background briefing material Concluding section, drawing together the strands from the above and soliciting help with further development 25
