own professional development profile in the LMS through which they will access the training
courses they are required to take as part of their personalized plan as well track their progress.
This paper prototype sets out the intended design of an e-learning module intended to form
part of a wider induction training course that all entry level floor and kitchen staff (namely, those
who have not worked in the hospitality industry before) will be required to undertake. The module
is divided in to a series of topics covering basic food safety and hygiene requirements and
processes and is intended to be hosted in the LMS. Given that the group LMS is presently under
development, the initial digital prototype of this e-learning module will initially be hosted on a
webserver and made available for review by BB via this instructional designers webpage.
Entry level staff will undertake the e-learning module during an induction training week
that will take place immediately prior to commencement in their role with Brightwings. The target
learner group demographics are presumed to fall in line with the most recently published UK
hospitality and tourism labor market statistics: 57% of the workforce is female; 44% are under the
age of 30 (with 31% of the same being aged between 16-24); 85% of the workforce describes their
ethnicity as white and the remaining 15% as black or minority ethnic groups (People 1st, 2013).
It is intended that the learners will undergo a preliminary training module covering how to
navigate and use the LMS and online training courses. Therefore prior knowledge in that regard is
presumed. Learners will undertake the online training modules on dedicated training computers
provided in the offices of each of BBs venues. During online training sessions learners will be
provided with a pencil and paper pad for note taking. Passing the basic food safety and hygiene
module post-test with a score of 80% or more will be a mandatory requirement of the induction
process.

regulatory and legal requirements
EDCI 569
Course Outline
The module is designed to be undertaken once and in one sitting. The module is linear in nature;
the learner progresses from one topic section to the next with the ability to browse backwards
through the slides should they so wish (however, in the context it is unlikely that they will wish or
require to do this). The only stage of iteration built in the module is in the final quiz where learners
failing to achieve the pass grade of 80% will be directed to retake the multiple choice questions
they have answered incorrectly until they have achieved the required pass grade. Given that the
learners are directed to take handwritten content notes as they progress through the module and to
use the notes to aid them while undertaking the untimed test it is anticipated that the majority of
learners will pass the test on the first attempt.
EDCI 569
EDCI 569
Navigation: The e-learning module will be created using Captivate 7 which provides a number
navigation bar layout and functionality options. A simple, easy to use navigation bar format has
been selected, which allows the learner to move forward and backwards between slides as well as
increase the audio volume. A progress bar allows them to track how far they have moved through
the module as a whole. Each topic slide has a Main Menu button which will return the learner
to the main navigation menu should they wish to revisit earlier topics this button will only
become active once a slide has played the whole way through. The Main Menu button will not
feature on assessment slides.
EDCI 569
Buttons: Buttons will have a dark wood texture with light yellow colored text, as can be seen in
the Main Menu button above.
Navigation Slide: [Note: following review of the final instructional plan, a navigation slide is no
longer considered necessary or helpful to the learner given that the module is designed to be taken
one time in a single sitting. The slide layouts, which were completed prior to making this decision,
include a Main Menu button; however, please note that the buttons will not be included in the
final project.]

In this module you will learn about the 4Cs of food safety and hygiene Cross-contamination,
Cleaning, Chilling and Cooking. We will show you how to recognize and deal with food hazards,
and the ways in which you can reduce the risk of those food hazards ocurring including proper
food storage and handling. At the end of this module you will take a multiple choice quiz of 20
questions to test your understanding of the topics you have covered today. Please take your time
to go through each section of this module thoroughly. Taking brief notes of the important
information in each section will help you to remember what you have covered, and its ok if you
use those notes to help jog your memory when youre taking the quiz. If you dont have some note
paper and a pencil please go and fetch them now, before we start.
When you are ready, click the right arrow button in the navigation bar at the bottom of this screen
to begin the module.
Presentation and Navigation: The narration commences automatically as the slide opens. The slide
will open with only the icons showing - the words contamination, cleaning, chilling and
cooking will appear as they are spoken in the narration. The module will pause at the end of the
narration. The learner will then click the right arrow button to move forward to the next slide.
EDCI 569
Content
We are responsible for making sure that our
consumers are protected from contaminated
food and the risk of food poisoning, which
causes extreme discomfort, and in extreme
cases, even death.
People get sick from food poisoning because
the food they've eaten has contained bacteria,
viruses or chemicals. It can take anywhere
from an hour to a few days to develop food
poisoning, depending on the cause, and the
best way of preventing food poisoning is to
use safe food handling and hygiene practices.
We are proud of our gold star rating for
serving only the freshest dishes made from
locally sourced, organic ingredients. Using
safe food handling and hygiene practices
helps us to maintain our teams excellent
reputation for serving top notch food made
from the best quality produce around.
Food safety is regulated by many UK and
European laws and regulations. Dont worry,
we dont expect you to know what they all
are! However, it is important for you to
understand that our teams main food safety
legal responsibilities are:

Presentation and Navigation: The narration commences automatically as the slide opens. A timer
widget in the bottom right hand corner will count down 5 minutes before pausing the slide and an
invisible button will be used to prevent forwards navigation until the 5 minute period has elapsed.
The learner will then click the right arrow button to proceed to the next slide.
Slide 4: Contamination
Narration: One of the main reasons that people become ill from eating food is that it has been
contaminated. Unlike spoiled foods which are easily detectable, as they tend to look, smell and
taste 'off', foods that have been contaminated with harmful micro-organisms or toxins look, smell
and taste okay but have the potential to cause serious illness and even death. This is why we have
to be extra vigilant in ensuring that the food we serve is free from dangerous contaminants by
observing good food safety and hygiene practices at all time:
There are many different potential contaminants that can find their way in to food. Click on the
tabs below to explore the major sources of food contamination that you will learn about in more
detail in this section.
12
EDCI 569
Content
A micro-organism is any living organism so
small that, on its own, it is virtually invisible
and can only be seen with a microscope.
Micro-organisms that can cause food
poisoning are:
Viruses
Bacteria
Mold
Micro-organisms exist all around us in the
environment they live virtually everywhere
including on us, in the air, soil and water.
This means that they can very easily be
transferred on to food without being detected.
Poisonous chemicals and toxins can find their
way in to food in lots of different ways:
Chemical
Physical

EDCI 569
Slide 6: Cross-contamination
Narration: Cross contamination is one of the most common causes of food poisoning. It happens
when harmful microorganisms, such as viruses and bacteria, are spread onto food from other food,
surfaces, hands or equipment. Cross-contamination of food with bacteria is one of the biggest areas
of food safety risk, because bacteria are so common and can be transferred on to food in many
different ways, as this diagram shows. Move your mouse cursor over the different sources of
contamination in the diagram below to learn about what preventative measures we can take to
minimize the risk of cross-contamination occurring.
Content: The hover boxes explaining preventative measures will read as follows:

to which they refer at partial opacity with the stated text overlaid on top. The learner will scroll
over the text boxes to cause the hover box content to appear. Once the learner has considered the
slide, they will click the right arrow button to move on to the next slide.
Slide 7: Hand washing
Narration: Hands are among the most obvious culprits in transferring bacteria and viruses from
sources of contamination to food. It is therefore very important that you wash your hands
thoroughly before and after handling food and between handling raw and ready to eat food.
Washing your hands properly means more than simply giving them a quick rinse under running
17

to the next slide.
Slide 9: Pests
Narration: What is a pest? Broadly speaking, they are destructive organisms that can be plant or
animal. In a commercial kitchen the most concerning pests are flies, cockroaches, rats and mice
because they have the potential to spread disease through cross-contamination, either through
direct physical contact with food or by their waste getting in to food. All the pests mentioned are
responsible for causing considerable spoilage of foodstuffs and rodents can damage fittings and
structures which can lead to dangerous electrical fires. It is important for you to understand how
to recognize these pests and if you detect their presence in your venue you must report to your
supervisor immediately. Click on each of the tabs below to learn about each of these pests in more
detail.

message: Success! Well done! before the slide automatically transitions to the next.
Slide 11: Cleaning
Narration: Practicing good food hygiene is important at every stage and in every aspect of food
production. By making sure that we keep food safe we are promoting health both that of our
customers and of ourselves. One of the most important measures we can take towards preventing
food contamination and spoilage is to make sure that we keep the areas in which we store, handle
and prepare food clean at all times.
Washing work surfaces and equipment thoroughly between food handling tasks, and disinfecting
them after preparing raw food on them, will help to prevent the spread of harmful bacteria and pest
infestations. During your first week working at Brightwings your supervisor will introduce you to
your workspace cleaning rota which is divided in to daily high priority cleaning tasks, relating to
24
EDCI 569
surfaces and equipment that people touch and use frequently, and routine cleaning tasks that take
place in regular cycles.
Watch this video by the Food Standards Agency which will show you the correct technique to use
when washing and disinfecting work surfaces.

either a True or False button to answer. Upon clicking the button, feedback will be provided
within the feedback panel. At completion of the quizlet the final quizlet slide will automatically
transition to the next.
Slide 13: Personal Hygiene
Narration: One of the key aspects to good food safety practice is that the people preparing and
serving food maintain good personal hygiene. Why is this important? Its because the human body
provides a rich environment for micro-organisms to live in. In fact, right at this very moment
billions of bacteria are living inside you, and on the surface of your skin and hair! Dont worry
most of these bacteria are harmless and many even have an important role to play in maintaining
health. We even add them to our yoghurts! However, apparently healthy people can carry
pathogenic bacteria without showing any signs of illness. These harmful bacteria that can cause
food poisoning can be easily transferred from your hands, clothes and jewelry on to food that
youre handling and preparing. We have to assume that we may be carrying food poisoning
bacteria and take precautions against spreading disease to our customers and colleagues by keeping
27
EDCI 569
clean and avoiding any part of us or what we are wearing that is likely to contaminate food from
coming in to contact with it.
The way we behave also has an effect on food safety. Harmful bacteria can be transferred to food
by a food handler acting in an unsanitary manner such as coughing or sneezing over food, tasting
food using their fingers and working with an infected cut. Inadequate hand washing after going to
the toilet can result in fecal material being transferred to and contaminating food. As we discussed
before, you can contaminate food with viruses and bacteria by working while you are unwell so
if you feel sick please go to your doctor immediately to find out if you are fit to come to work.
Viral contamination can also occur when food handlers touch food with uncovered wounds such
as such as cuts, grazes so it is important to keep them covered with a clean waterproof dressing.
Click on each of the tabs below to learn about how you can ensure you maintain good hygiene
practices at work.

Be aware of your
unconscious bodily habits.
You should avoid actions
such as scratching or rubbing
your head, nose or other body

message: Success! Well done! before the slide automatically transitions to the next.
Slide 15: Cooking and Chilling
Narration: The risk of food contamination is especially high whenever food is being prepared for
cooking or processed in some other way in readiness to be eaten. It is important to be aware of the
critical points at which bacterial growth is favored and what appropriate preventative measures we
can follow to stop it in its tracks. Bacteria that cause food poisoning grow well at the temperature
between 4C and 60C this is known as the food temperature danger zone. We need to take all
the step we can to avoid food temperatures falling into the food temperature zone for any longer
than is absolutely necessary, if at all.
Click on the timeline below to learn about the critical bacterial growth points of the food
preparation process and the appropriate preventative steps that should be taken at each stage.
30
EDCI 569
Hot Holding
Often, in service,
foods are kept in hot
holding until they are
ready to be served.
However, if they food
is not kept hot enough
while it is in hot
holding then bacteria
can thrive in the
warm, moist
environment. It is
necessary for the food
to be kept at 60C or
above while it is in
hot holding this
should be checked
regularly with a
temperature probe.
31
Reheating
Food that is
inadequately reheated
is the perfect breeding
ground for bacteria.
Ideally, food
quantities should be
managed to keep
reheating to a bare
minimum. However,
where it is necessary,
food should be
reheated as quickly as
possible to a
temperature of 75C
or more for at least 10
minutes in order to
destroy bacteria.
Stirring food and
reheating in small
batches is the
quickest way to bring
the food up to
temperature.
Cooling
Food should be
cooled as quickly as
possible. Generally,
to keep food safe it
must be cooled to 4C
within 90 minutes or
less of being cooked.
To cool cooked food
quickly, transfer it in
to smaller, shallow
containers and stand
them in an ice bath.
As soon as the food is
cooled, cover it and
move it to a
refrigerator.
EDCI 569
Presentation and Navigation: The narration commences automatically as the slide opens. The
learner clicks once on each timeline list point, causing the content panel for the relevant timeline
