The video lessons are composed of theoretical explanations about the concept of situation awareness and other related concepts. Each video lesson comprises a question at the end of each topic, in order to ensure that the learner’s understanding. Various assessment tests and questions will also be provided during the training. The proposed exercises can be solved only by remembering and understanding the content delivered in the video lessons. The learner only has to carefully listen to the teacher during the lessons. Assessment will comprise multiple choice questions, a case study, a glossary, a drag-and-drop exercise, a one-minute essay, the bulding of a concept map, a one-sentence summary and exit tickets.
