Abstract

The company offers radioprotection services in the field of ionizing radiation applications in industries, in the area of medicine and in research, among other sectors. To achieve part of its objectives, Átomo developed an educational sector which, among other products, provides interested parties with the minimum knowledge that a specialist in radioprotection or a worker should have, in the presence of ionizing radiation, to carry out their tasks with safety. The learning system currently in place amounts to an exposition by the instructor and the clarification of the pupil’s doubts, which, in addition to being expensive, removes the specialized professional from the workplace for a minimum of five weeks. The objective of this project is to develop a low cost multimedia course, which can be followed at a distance, with or without the presence of an instructor, in a group or individually. The course could have different degrees of complexity, that’s to say, it could be accessed by the simplest or the most sophisticated pieces of equipment. The company’s mission, in this business, is to offer flexibility of solutions, using techniques which afford the least physical and emotional wear on the professional, as well as lower costs for the business that uses them.
