Development of an online course “Work and Technology on Human Terms”

• Prevent has collaborated with five Swedish universities of technology to produce an online course in human factors engineering, ergonomics, work science and related subjects. The online course could serve as a pedagogic tool to attract more students to the subject, not only in engineering university programs, but also in economics and human relations programs. In addition to these primary target groups, profes- sionals with an equivalent university education can study the course. The online course is free of charge and in English comprising 14 chapters as well as four work- place cases. It is available in August 2017 at www.onhumanterms.org. The user is free to start and finish the online course independently of others and comprises to- tally approximately 20 hours of study. The user will get a certificate after finishing the complete course including self-correcting knowledge tests.
