The National Safety Council (NSC), founded in 1913 and chartered by the US Congress in 1953, has more than 55,000 members including businesses, labor organizations, schools, public agencies, private groups and individuals. The group focuses on areas where the greatest number of preventable injuries and deaths occur.
When NSC wanted to launch a new, online version of the Supervisor’s Safety Development Program (SSDP), it turned to Area9 and our adaptive technology.
The SSDP Online course uses adaptive learning technology to personalize the course based on what learners know, don’t know and have trouble learning. This makes the course far more efficient than with a traditional e-learning approach. On the Area9 platform, learners with a lot of knowledge proceed faster through the course than users who are seeing the content for the first time, or who are less confident.
