Luma Learning Strategies in the Transportation Industry

Conflict can occur any time, any place in normal circumstances. These days, many people are under a lot of stress with too much work, too little work, working while having kids home all day, being unemployed, and the unknown. Being under so much stress and pressure will ultimately lead to conflicts. The purpose of this Luma Learning Strategy is to focus on conflict de-escalation strategies.

Interaction Types


For decades there has been discussions of interaction types in education. (Anderson, 2003) Most interaction types observed in driver training traditionally are learner to instructor or learner to content. Moreover, most interaction time with driver training and orientation is synchronous or at the same time. This Learning Strategy is going to help you think about ways you can hold training without a physical classroom.

Interaction Time

The following Lesson is broken down into two different interaction times.
