Digital training resources: an exploration into the development, need and use of digital medium resources in a pre-defined training process
Date
2015
Abstract
This project explored the dangers associated with the use of woodworking machinery in the context of training beginners while also examining the current resources on offer. A theoretical review was informed by analysing and utilising an existing machine training process within Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, Letterfrack (GMITL) as the basis for any proposed solutions. Research also explored how students learn in practical curriculum alongside the benefits of technology enhanced learning environments in such situations. The project proposed solutions to improve the GMITL training process through the design, development and use of two digital medium strands, one for Activity Tracking (AT) and the other as a Digital Learning Resource (DLR). The development of the DLR was aimed at supplementing beginners learning not only in GMITL but also in the woodworking industry, meaning the benefits are felt wider afield. The development process was validated by a range of testing methods to help validate if these digital resources were of benefit to the woodworking industry.
