The learner examines what it means to listen respectively and how to become a better listener.

This screencast, we see how the shape of a stain defines the angle of impact. In general terms the more circular the stain, the more perpendicular will be the angle at which it struck the surface. The more elliptical the shape of the stain, the more acute the angle will be. With practice and experience, the analyst can recognize the general angle of impact based solely on the shape of the stain.

Learners reflect on their thoughts, feelings, and reactions toward such listening behaviors as interrupting, selective listening, and unresponsive listening.

This activity is cognitive. Learners will actively listen to a story activated by the computer. Then learners will take a quiz on their comprehension. Lastly, learners will compare their chosen answers against the answer key to determine how well they really did "actively" listen. (Credit given to Tom E. Wirkus, University Of Wisconsin-LaCrosse for this activity.)

In this learning activity you'll produce a personal listening improvement plan based on good listening techniques.

In this module, we’ll explore what an affinity diagram is, discuss how it can be used to solve problems, and end with some real-world applications to show you how these can help you in any manufacturing role to bring order to chaos.

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.

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.

Do you hate doing homework? Do you think it’s a waste of your time? Are you looking for a better way?

We’ve got you. In this video, you’ll explore how using the homework strategy can improve your studying techniques, make your studying strategies more effective, and reduce the amount of time wasted by trying to memorize your textbooks. We can help!

Learners study the effect that pressure has on boiling temperatures. Once a liquid has reached a full boil, additional heat does not raise the liquid’s temperature; however, pressure can vary the boiling point of a liquid. A brief quiz completes the activity.

Learners examine how metal detectors function. This object includes animation and sound.

Learners examine the seven most common barriers to effective listening and consider suggestions for how to overcome these barriers. This interactive object contains audio.

In this learning activity you'll discover how to evaluate a problem statement using both the MEA and the IP Techniques.

In this learning activity you'll explore how computers connected on a network use Ethernet technology.

Learners examine how CEC, base saturation, and soil pH work with each other to define plant nutrient availability.

Learners read how the NOR gate can be configured to obtain the other common logic gates. Schematics and Boolean expressions demonstrate how the AND, OR, and Hex Inverter functions are achieved through the use of only NOR gates

Learners read how they can make menus more pleasing to the senses by paying attention to shape, form, texture, temperature, color, flavor, and visual appeal.

The learner will understand how to properly use a fillet gage to measure weld size.

In this learning activity you'll write a description of a can opener.
