Line Symbols (Screencast)
By Terry Bartelt
Learners examine the different types of lines used on a P&ID diagram and the types of connections they represent. They test their knowledge in a matching exercise.
Thermocouples (Screencast)
In this animated object, learners observe the operation of a J thermocouple with a cold junction. A table is used to convert the voltage it produces to a corresponding temperature. A brief quiz completes the activity.
How Switches Increase Speed
In this learning activity you'll observe how switches are used in local area networks to increase data transmission speeds.
Kirchhoff's Current Law: Practice Problems
Learners review Kirchhoff's Current Law and work six practice problems. Feedback is given.
Welding Wire Spool Installation Instructions
By Jessie Jelinski
The learner will identify the steps and proper techniques for installing a wire spool on a welding machine.
Blood Groups
By Barbara Liang
In this animated and interactive object, learners examine ABO blood antigens and Rh antigens and their compatibility.
RL Time Constant
By Patrick Hoppe
Learners read an explanation of the RL time constant and examine the formula for calculating the instantaneous current value. The current is graphed as it climbs to maximum or drops to zero. Note* In the formulas in this module, the Greek letter epsilon should be the mathematical constant 'e'.
Domain Model
In this learning activity you'll examine how a large computer network is configured.
Airspace
By Barb Fuhrmann, Jared Huss
Learners examine the various classifications of airspace and the requirements to pilot an aircraft there. A quiz completes the activity. This object has sound.
Water Leak
By Rosie Bunnow
In this scenario, learners put themselves in the place of a safety director at a local company. They watch video of an injury-causing incident and propose changes to company policies and procedures to try to maintain a safe environment.
Dietary Manager Training: Calculating FTEs
By Kristy Norenberg
Learners read how to calculate the full-time equivalent for hours worked by employees. Practice exercises complete the activity.
Electromagnets
Learners examine how an electromagnet is formed. Animated illustrations show current running through a coil wrapped around an iron core.
Critical Position
By James Bourassa
In this animated object, learners examine the situation that occurs when any two links of a mechanism lie in the same plane or on a straight line. Crank-sliders and crank-rockers are shown.
Automotive Air Conditioning: The Relationship Between Pressure and Temperature
By Ken Kempfer
In this animated object, learners examine the relationship between pressure and temperature in an air conditioning system.
Maximum Power Transfer
Learners are introduced to the maximum power transfer theorem. Examples show the load as it varies and the results are graphed.
Setup Reduction/Quick Changeover
By Kaye Krueger
Learners view steps to reduce changeover time in a manufacturing operation.
The History of Standards
By Barbara Anderegg
In this learning activity you'll review the historical progression of standards to learn what makes a good standard.
Squaring the Toolhead
By Erich Krowas
In this video, we’ll go over the necessary steps to square the toolhead on a Bridgeport mill.
Surface Tension of a Blood Drop (Screencast)
By Daniel Feucht
This screencast shows how blood droplets are held together by a strong cohesive molecular force that produces surface tension in each drop and on the external force. Surface tension pulls the surface molecules of a liquid toward its interior, decreasing the surface area and causing the liquid to resist penetration.

The SMART Principle
By VickyWeiland
Learners will examine how to use the SMART principle to make sure a goal is simple, measurable, realistic, timely, and holds people accountable.
Methods of Producing Electricity
In this learning activity you'll review the six different ways in which electricity is produced: chemical, friction, heat, light, magnetism, and pressure.
Vector Diagram for a Parallel RL Circuit
Learners read about the vector diagram for a parallel RL circuit. This animated lesson presents information on current flow through each branch, total current, and phase angle.
