In an effort to increase safety awareness and motivate students to work safely in the laboratory, STAR-LITE was developed. Keeping our audience in mind, we realize that the most effective methods to teach students are interactive, realistic and engaging.
The program incorporates common features seen in today’s video games, i.e., selection of an individualized character; first-person views; and three-dimensional graphics. This method of instruction integrates visualization of consequences, e.g., slips/trips/falls, inhalation of chemical hazards, spills of biohazardous liquids, development of critical-thinking proficiencies, and application of problem-solving skills.
