Andrew Oliver A telematic course to instruct students in good safety procedures when using machines in workshops has been in operation since September 1998. The project is web based and consists of ten sections each devoted to a particular machine. It is used both as a preparation for safety practices as well as resource for the reinforcement of their most important points.
Students are able to undergo formative assessment in the test sections.
In all there are 42 test sections comprising 185 questions. Each test section allows the students to email the tutor directly who then stores the data on a spreadsheet. The menu system was created by using frames and the html coding was produced by Macromedia's Dreamweaver. Click here to see the on-line review. Their project will see the building of a Furniture Technology Centre for the Egyptian funiture industry based in Damietta.
