In this animated object, learners examine the operation and programming requirements of a PLC Examine-Off instruction. A brief quiz completes the activity.

Learners examine an animated view of the operation and programming requirements of a PLC Examine-On instruction. 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.

Learners examine the animated Timer-On Delay instruction and the Timer-Off Delay instruction of a PLC timer. A brief quiz completes the activity.

Learners examine the fundamental concepts of sequencer output instruction. A simulated example shows a sequencer in operation.

Learners examine how a PLC Timer-Off instruction is used in the operation of an automotive paint booth.

In this learning activity you'll apply directions to follow when writing clear "how-to" instructions.

Users read work instructions and view a drawing and calculations for turning on a lathe using a digital readout.

This learning object contains work instructions and a drawing for turning using steel spring collets on a lathe.

The learner will distinguish effective from ineffective approaches to writing instructions.

The learner will identify the types of motion instructions used for programming a robot.

The learner will gain an understanding of how a robot uses welding instructions to perform tasks. This learning activity includes video.

The learner will understand the importance of following instructions.

The student watches a car move through a city and writes directions based on the car's route.

In this animated object, learners examine the operation of up-counters and down-counters for a programmable controller. A brief quiz completes the activity.

The learner will identify the steps and proper techniques for installing a wire spool on a welding machine.

The purpose of this learning object is to introduce the learner to the different processes of science.

Learners consider the correct type of pushbutton to use as a Stop button, the way the Stop button should be hard wired, and the PLC input instruction to use. This animated object includes a short quiz. It is recommended that learners review the learning object “The PLC Examine-Off Instruction” before beginning this object.

The learner reads about the kinds of questions that are most effective to use on student questionnaires evaluating instruction. Generic evaluations are less helpful than evaluations focused on the specific types of instruction and learning expected in a content area. Sample questions are provided.

In this interactive lesson, learners read and hear instructions for sending an e-mail. Steps are given for composing an e-mail message and for sending it. Students have an opportunity to write their own messages. A quiz follows the instruction.
