This webinar will focus on the following:

  • How to work with persuasion motivating the trainee in a context where a legal obligation is setting the agenda.
  • How to apply the new GLO/PLOTMaker tool for development of on-line training in developing exposure scenarios for chemical mixtures according to the EU regulation REACH.

DHI is running a case study for the EuroPLOT EU funded project, developing resources for training vocational learners to understand regulations for exposure scenarios for chemical handling. The formulating industry has to deliver information on safe use of their products according to the EU regulations, and trainees are highly motivated in learning how to comply. The challenges come with the obligation to gather and deliver information for several chemicals, and learning how to work with the information in an operational manner.
The new version of the GLO/PLOTMaker tool developed within the EuroPLOT project has an increased capability for producing learning objects based on persuasive principles. It allows the teacher to create persuasive learning elements in multiple ways aiming to engage the learner or trainee.
