This tool is appealing because it is free and appears to be fairly versatile. Once I arrive at the prototype stage, I may try other similar tools if this one does not meet stakeholder needs.<\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><b>Assessment Plan:<\/b>\u00a0The quizzes will be automatically graded to ensure learners pass and meet legislative standards.<\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><b>Learning Theories &amp; Instructional Design Principles Used:<\/b>\u00a0Adult Learning Theory and Mobile Learning Theory will guide this project. Kelly (2006) explains how adult learners \u201cexpect more from their educational sessions because their time is valuable\u201d (para. 28) and they \u201chave other roles that counterbalance the significance of their role as a learner\u201d (para. 28). Mobile devices are ubiquitous and they present many learning opportunities (Sharples, Taylor, &amp; Vavoula, 2005), and workers who travel around following jobs tend to have smartphones with good data plans which gives us an opportunity to make learning more accessible for them. This project will also be supported with the assistance of some design principles: listen to user-feedback; facilitate user-friendliness to be respectful of the busy-adult-learners\u2019 time; plan for future users as well as current users; and always be open to evolution and improvement.<\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><b>Instructions for Use:<\/b>\u00a0Learners will receive the link to the digital safety training and electronic quiz in an email-based orientation package. They will complete the quiz and hit a \u201csubmit\u201d button which will forward their results to the organization\u2019s admin.<\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><b>Plan for Use:<\/b>\u00a0This resource will not be open because the safety training is for specific jobs within a particular company, not for learning about something like photography which might be of larger interest to the general public. This resource will only be used to demonstrate learning by one organization&#8217;s workers for certain temporary jobs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I am open to feedback from peers, especially if anyone can suggest cheap or free tools for electronic documents or applications which can embed submittable quizzes into online learning materials. I&#8217;m going to start by trying Google Forms but am open to other options if anyone has found something better.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 8\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Kelly, M.
