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 learner will identify techniques to use to overcome people-related barriers to critical thinking.

In this interactive object, learners review the case of a patient with meningococcal meningitis.

In this screencast, students demonstrate an understanding of summary writing by reading step-by-step instructions and then summarizing short paragraphs. Examples of summaries that are poorly written, as well as those that are written well, are included.

Learners examine the psychological and sociological barriers that interfere with clear communication. They select examples of ad hominem fallacy, bandwagon fallacy, emotional appeals, red herrings, irrelevant appeals to authority, suggestibility and conformity, “poisoning the well’, and “shoehorning.” In an interactive exercise, learners identify ways to overcome these barriers.

In this learning activity you'll make observations and formulate an evaluation including diagnosis and microorganism identification.

In this learning activity you'll identify Man-in-the-middle attacks and discuss how they affect network security.

Students make observations and formulate an evaluation that includes diagnosis, microorganism identification, and treatment.

Learners distinguish between competencies that are effective and robust, and those that are ineffective and weak. The learning object is designed for faculty who are writing or revising courses. It contains audio.

The learner will identify barriers to critical thinking related to internal and external factors after viewing scenarios.

We’ll explore why everyone should reduce the waste they produce in the welding shop. We'll also demonstrate some ways to reduce waste as you work.

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

Learners evaluate how well others describe their points of view in a workplace problem-solving situation. They then apply techniques for explaining their points of view as well as for gaining understanding of others' perspectives. This learning object contains audio.

Students make observations and formulate an evaluation that includes diagnosis and microorganism identification and treatment.

In this learning activity you'll observe information and formulate an evaluation that includes diagnosis and microorganism identification.

In this animated and interactive object, learners examine kinetic and potential energy as well as the first law of thermodynamics and the flow of energy between a system and its surroundings. Students also answer questions about exothermic and endothermic reactions

In this learning object the student will learn how to measure a stain and calculate angles of impact. Determining the angle of impact for bloodstains takes advantage of the trigonometric functions (Sine function).

A mathematical relationship exists between the width and length of an elliptical bloodstain which allows for the calculation of the angle of the impact for the original spherical drop of blood.

Given well formed stains we can accurately measure the width and length by simply dividing the stain along it’s major and minor axis. The opposite halves would be generally equal to each other which aids in establishing the impact angle.

In this activity, we'll examine some common discontinuities associated with GMAW welding and review ways to prevent these problems from happening.

Explore vertical hydroponic growing with Fork Farms and FVTC. We'll introduce you to what vertical hydroponic growing is, why it's important to our economy and the environment, and how you can get started.

In this screencast, we'll view the 10 major bones of the skull and read a description of each bone.
