Christian led a team that produced a documentary-based digital learning tool. The documentary was made to improve the academic performance of occupational safety students. It explored the trauma experienced by victims of occupational incidents. It focused on local incidents to deepen students’ understanding of how theoretical safety principles and practices could prevent incidents in industries where they will soon work as safety professionals. The effectiveness of the documentary was reflected quantitatively in a 10% improvement in student performance in the construction safety course.
