The development of the Internet and the technological advancements in
multimedia are some of the breakthroughs the 21st century has witnessed. Innovative
ways are being sought for the application of technologies such as the Internet and
multimedia, for the development of effective learning methods. The potential for using
the Internet in combination with multimedia for teaching and learning is great; we are
only beginning to understand and use the advantages it can offer. Web-Based safety
training is an innovative self-paced learning aid which provides distinctive advantages
over the traditional, instructor-led classroom training.
This study provides an in-depth evaluation of Web-based safety training against
instructor-led classroom training. The Web-based safety training uses multimedia such
as power point slides with text, images and video clips. This study is designed as an
experiment to determine the relative improvement in knowledge of woodshop safety
when Web-based safety training is used against instructor-led classroom training. An
opinion survey is conducted to determine participant’s attitude towards the training
methods.
