Indoctrination: Using interactive video to teach attitudes and knowledge in general employee training
The Westinghouse Hanford Company has developed a prototype Interactive Video course, Hanford General Employee Training. Interactive video combines sound, motion, and still photography from a videodisc with the graphics, text, and instructional capability of computer-based instruction. The course includes indoctrination on over 40 topics identified by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations, the United States Department of Energy, and the Westinghouse Hanford Company that are to be included in the indoctrination of new and requalifying employees. In addition, the course requires trainees to make positive choices when confronted with real life scenarios showing violations of safety, security, and quality standards. This courseware is different from most general employee training courses because it puts the trainee in a role-playing mode and requires the trainee to recognize and respond ''in the Westinghouse Hanford way.'' Initial data project a reduction of 40--60% in training time for Hanford General Employee Training as compared to stand-up instruction.
