Tearing Down the Walls: Multimedia, Multilingual, Web-based Training Modules for Industry
As industry continues to globalize its marketplace and production geography, the need for commonality of technical understanding increases. Barriers to development of commonality may include language, technology transfer, or cultural differences. By incorporating multilingual, web-based training modules, these barriers can be overcome. Academic institutions, individual businesses, or industry groups can use these modules to infuse knowledge from an area of leadership to an area of emerging importance. The U.S. beef industry is currently employing this method by broadcasting modules, developed by the Beef Cattle Institute at Kansas State University, on safe beef production practices to the entire production community. Content of training is the milieu of academia, which ensures its stake in the future of workforce development.
