Infotoons and Videos as Delivery Tools for Food Safety Training

Objective

In this project, we have the following goals:1. To work directly with Maine food businesses to assess persistent challenges in employee knowledge, attitude, and behavior concerning food safety concepts.2. To develop short educational videos featuring a blend of live-action footage and animations (infotoons) that handily explain abstract concepts relevant to food safety in multiple languages as well as why such concepts are important for day-to-day activities.3. To implement developed content as delivery aids in both adult learning (Extension) and college classes.4. To evaluate the efficacy of the infotoons in conveying knowledge as well as their effects on attitude and behavior.
