ABSTRACT

Purpose: Developed in partnership with Washington State Dairy Federation, Washington State University, and University of Washington, the e-learning Dairy Safety Kit (DSK) platform provides curated content and an interactive learning experience tailored to Washington dairy workers. The DSK is organized as a series of interactive modules targeting training topics identified through survey of Pacific Northwest dairy producers.

Methods: Moderators, recruited by the Dairy Federation of Washington, interact with e-learners, answer subject-specific questions, and provide guidance on implementing on-farm training using module materials. Registered e-learners can self-guide their way through the DSK content, access and download materials, ask questions, and provide feedback on material effectiveness and ease of use. This is a flexible and bilingual platform that also allows for dissemination of emerging issues, changes in regulations, and other critical information.

Practical application: Evaluation of the DSK will be conducted through REDCap, a secure web application for building and managing online surveys and databases. Evaluation will capture user experience as well as usage frequency and number of employees trained using these tools. Evaluation metrics developed as part of this project will be used to refine and inform future training delivery approaches within this industry.

摘要

目的：电子学习乳品安全工具包（DSK）平台是与华盛顿州奶业联合会，华盛顿州大学和华盛顿大学合作开发的，可为华盛顿州的奶业工人量身定制精选内容和交互式学习体验。DSK由一系列互动模块组成，这些模块针对通过西北太平洋乳制品生产商的调查确定的培训主题。

方法：由华盛顿乳业联合会聘用的主持人与电子学习者互动，回答特定于主题的问题，并提供有关使用模块材料实施农场培训的指导。注册的电子学习者可以通过DSK内容进行自我指导，访问和下载材料，提出问题并提供有关材料有效性和易用性的反馈。这是一个灵活的双语平台，还可以传播新出现的问题，法规变更和其他重要信息。

实际应用：DSK的评估将通过REDCap进行，REDCap是用于构建和管理在线调查和数据库的安全Web应用程序。评估将捕获用户体验，使用频率以及使用这些工具培训的员工数量。作为该项目的一部分开发的评估指标将用于完善和告知该行业未来的培训交付方法。
