Are you driven to distraction? Is hands-free technology really safer for drivers? Innovative Learning Group, Inc. (ILG) and its client, SafetyServe.com, answer these questions in a 90-minute e-learning course called “Distracted Driving,” which won a coveted Brandon Hall Group Bronze Award for Excellence in the Best Advance in Custom Content category.

“We are thrilled to have won this award with our long-time client, SafetyServe.com,” says ILG CEO Lisa Toenniges. “This course delivers an eye-opening look at the myths of distracted driving.”

Created in conjunction with the National Safety Council, the course focuses on changing participants’ attitudes and behaviors toward what it means to be distracted behind the wheel.

“Through the use of storytelling, scenarios were developed in a way that learners can experience, on both an intellectual and emotional level, the impact of distracted driving, which should result in them making meaningful changes to their driving habits,” says SafetyServe.com President Wade Mezey. “With distracted driving becoming an epidemic in our society, the course is personal, relevant, and effective.”

Of the thousands of individuals who have already taken “Distracted Driving,” more than 95% indicated in a post-course survey that they are likely to reduce their use of mobile devices while driving.
