How Adding Parallel Branches Decreases Total Resistance
In this animated object, learners follow an analogy of water flowing through pipes and valves to see how resistance decreases in a parallel circuit as branches are added.
Every speech starts with an outline. Knowing how to write one can make the difference between speech success and speech failure. In this module, we’ll explore what’s involved in creating an outline, demonstrate how to put one together, and give you examples you can use to create your own outline.
Learners read how nanotechnology is creating new jobs in emerging industries while making others obsolete. This colorful and animated activity also looks at the types of products being created through the use of technology and how educational institutions have responded.
Learners use this interactive and animated object to examine the use of binary numbers in a programmable logic controller. A brief quiz completes the activity.
In this animated object, learners examine three data compare instructions used by programmable logic controllers (PLCs). A practical application to show how these instructions are used in an industrial setting is provided.
In this module, we'll be introducing you to SIPOC, a powerful tool that can help you improve your business processes. It's a high-level process mapping tool that helps you identify the key components of a process and how they relate to each other. SIPOC diagrams are often used in Six Sigma and Lean methodologies, but they can be useful for any process improvement initiative. We’ll explain the key SIPOC components and demonstrate how to build one. Then, we’ll walk through a few scenarios and let you build your own.
Learners see and hear how motivation on the job can be compared to the use of a bicycle. They then write an explanation of how this theory can be applied to a situation in their own workplace.
