of this page for more information.
Distracted driving is not a new problem, but the increasing use of cellphones and other electronic devices has caused it to grow alarmingly in recent years… and so has the toll it has taken in road accidents, injuries and lost lives. In fact, today as many as one in three accidents involve distracted drivers.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration defines distracted drivers as those who engage in "any activity that could divert a person's attention away from the primary task of driving." And plenty of us fit that description.
Fortunately, there are ways we can reverse the increases we are seeing in distracted driving accidents.
Topics covered in this course include:
- The cost of distracted driving
- Multi-tasking and distraction
- The dangers of using cell phones while driving
- Ways to eliminate distractions before you drive
- How to fight distraction on the road
- …and more.
Like all MARCOM courses, this updated course on "Distracted Driving" uses a powerful combination of full-motion, high-definition video filmed in real world locations, along with audio, text and colorful graphics to provide the most cost-effective training available today.
The "Distracted Driving" Micro-Learning curriculum includes the following five 3-5 minute courses:
- "The Cost of Distracted Driving"
- "Types of Distractions"
- "Cell Phones"
- "Eliminating Distractions Before You Drive"
- "Fighting Distraction on the Road"
The English version of this course is currently available online in Full-Length Interactive, "Adaptive Learning" and Micro-Learning formats as well as Video-On-Demand (VOD) for streaming over the internet, and a DVD that can be played locally at your facility. Spanish versions of the courses will be available soon.

Adaptive Learning
“Adaptive Learning” takes advantage of an employee’s existing knowledge to create training courses that are customized for that employee, and don’t “reteach” them things that they already know. In other words, the Adaptive Learning process determines what an employee already knows about a topic, then structures courses that contain only the information that the employee needs to complete their knowledge of the topic.
These individually customized courses eliminate the largest employee complaint about safety training (“I already know most of this stuff, so why do I have to go through this training again?!”), while potentially recapturing thousands of hours of lost productivity.
MARCOM’s Adaptive Learning courses test employees before they take the course. Then based on the questions that they answer correctly, the course itself determines if the employee knows enough about the information in each chapter in the course to “test out” of that chapter… and if they do, automatically reconfigures the course to skip those chapters.
Reconfiguring the courses in this way typically saves about 50% of an employee’s time in taking a course. Over a year’s time this can recapture a significant amount of lost productivity time for a company of any size, and result in hundreds of thousands of dollars of annual savings.
