Learners view an animation showing the one-shot operation of a programmable logic controller.

In this learning activity you'll practice converting from one metric unit to another.

In a series of three interactive exercises, learners explore the relationship between process cycle time and defect detection, and between process cyle time and smaller batch sizes. The techniques of lean/JIT are applied to achieve the continuous improvement (kaizen) goal of reducing inventory by pursuing one-piece flow.

Learners examine a 555 integrated circuit, which functions as a one-shot monostable multivibrator, and then test their knowledge. Immediate feedback is provided. Animations are used to show the sequential operations.

Users examine ways for students to give feedback to their instructor about what they have learned and what part of the lesson is not clear.

In this learning activity you'll determine the measurement to be made and the accuracy required.

Learners examine graphs and read that the heat of fusion is the heat energy absorbed by one mole of solid as it is converted to liquid, while the heat of vaporization is the heat energy absorbed by one mole of liquid as it is converted to gas.

Students listen to three telephone messages and enter their evaluation of each one. They then read a list of guidelines for leaving effective messages.

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.

Students follow step-by-step directions on how to make mathematical calculations for a Wheatstone bridge.

Students review the best practices for using a ruler and answer five basic questions.

In this screencast, you'll review definitions of To, Too, and Two and review practice sentences.

Learners answer questions about medication from a game board with the headings "Pituitary," "Thyroid," and "Adrenal." Up to three people can play at one time. Contestants "buzz in" their answers to accumulate points.

The learner reads directions for finding the slope, intercept, and correlation coefficient for a group of ordered pairs using one of eight different scientific calculators.

In this animated and interactive object, the learner uses a Casio fx-260 calculator to solve for the magnitude of the resultant and of one of the component forces in a right triangle.

Learners examine the method used to calculate the mass percent of an element in a compound. Three examples and one problem illustrate the method.

In this interactive object, learners consider three situations involving patient care. They then decide what legal principles are involved.

In this learning object you'll review the components of a Brown & Sharpe Universal Cylindrical Grinder.

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.

The student sees a list of 30 of the most often misspelled words used in business. In one exercise, the student listens to each word and then keys in the spelling of that word. In the next exercise, the student matches synonyms.
