Progress 06/01/10 to 05/31/11
Outputs
OUTPUTS: An online farm safety education and certification program has been developed by: a) Using Penn State's online Course Management System (CMS)to host the training; b) Uploading the content of the National Safe Tractor and Machinery Operation Program (NSTMOP) to the CMS; c) Uploading 525 validated questions to the test generation stack of the CMS; d) Testing the CMS on mobile device platforms; and e) Videos from similar projects are being edited for inclusion on the CMS. Additionally, accounts have been established on social media sites for promotion of the program: a) AgSafety4u on Twitter; and b)AgSafety4u on Facebook. PARTICIPANTS: Nothing significant to report during this reporting period. TARGET AUDIENCES: Nothing significant to report during this reporting period. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Nothing significant to report during this reporting period.
Impacts
In the development of the online farm safety and education and certification program the principal investigator has had an increase in knowledge, methods and techniques for developing such training programs. Outcomes/Impact of the training program on the agricultural community have not been realized yet because the program has not been introduced to that population at this point. Pilot testing will commence in year 2 and a clearer understanding of those outcome/impacts will be measured at that point.
