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

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.)

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

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

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

Learners identify negative roles, match statements characteristic of each role, and relate how they have handled negative teams.

In this learning activity you'll observe how switches are used in local area networks to increase data transmission speeds.

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

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

Writers block happens to all of us. Homework block is even worse. If you’re stuck on how to get started, watch this video to explore how to generate ideas for speeches, papers, and projects quickly and effectively.

Learners examine the function of each part of a microscope and follow step-by-step instructions on how to focus on a specimen. They also review the proper use and care of a microscope and test their knowledge in two drag-and-drop exercises.

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

Explore what time management is, how to use a time matrix, and how to put it all together and use our new time management skills to accomplish more during your days.

In this learning activity we’ll learn how the web works by using a Request and Response algorithm.

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.

In this animated object, learners follow an analogy of water flowing through pipes and valves to see how current increases in a parallel circuit as branches are added.

Learners listen to five statements and then enter comments about each message’s tone, inflection, and pauses. This activity has audio content.

In this interactive object, learners review how to read a caliper. They then test their skills with eight practice questions.

In this learning activity you'll play "How to Really Be a Millionaire" to learn the basics of accumulating wealth.
