Luma “Brighter Learning” recently released LumaLens, which the instructional design company says is the trucking industry’s first camera-based authentication process for online driver training.
Authentication in distance education always is a concern the company said, and the stakes are high in the trucking industry, so fleets lacking definitive proof of driver training events potentially could “lose millions” in accident lawsuits.
LumaLens provides motor carriers with liability protection by documenting training. The technology captures time-stamped pictures of users while they are completing training.
“As we continue to support the diverse training needs of the trucking industry, several clients are asking for a more foolproof method for documentation,” said Dr. Gina Anderson, chief executive officer of Luma. “We responded by developing LumaLens as the industry’s first automated method for photo capture of training events.”
LumaLens is available in the Luma eNugget learning management system (LMS), which also comes with a collection of nearly 500 customizable Luma eNugget training modules that cover relevant safety, compliance and orientation topics, Luma said. The modules use multi-media tailored to the learning preferences and culture of truck drivers.
