Food Safety 100 Game

Abstract

The Virginia Tech Food Safety Game will allow for the users or the new dining employees to learn about food safety in an interactive and more engaging way. The employees will be able to play this game on a personal or a public computer through the use of a browser and familiarize themselves with the food safety material that is necessary to take a food safety exam. The food safety game allows for the training coordinators to make the learning more enjoyable and guarantee food safety in their dining centers. When the game is complete, it will replace the PowerPoint presentation that is currently in place for the new employees to learn about food safety at Virginia Tech.

Description
In order to teach the users about the importance of food safety in the dining centers, there is a need for a comprehensive training course. However, due to the lack of interactive material, it has become difficult to interest the employees to learn about food safety. At present, the employees do not have access to an interactive way of learning about the importance of food safety. And the material that is available does not aid the employees in helping them remember all the important material. This limits their ability to take proper precautions and/or steps to sustain a healthy environment in the dining centers at Virginia Tech.
