In this learning activity you'll be introduced to soft skills, or people skills, needed by all IT professionals.

In this interactive learning object, the student matches the names of software with their definitions and categorizes computer terms according to the appropriate software.

In this highly interactive and animated object, learners examine the VAT-40 battery starting and charging system tester and study how the tester is used to diagnose vehicle starting system problems. This object has audio.

Students view a video that shows the correct methods for starting a GTAW weld pool and adding filler. It focuses on the two problems that many students have – adding filler too soon and angling the torch so that the filler melts prematurely on the filler rod. Note: This activity is 3.6 mb.

Learners examine the ways in which a motor starter circuit is protected by a main circuit breaker and overload heaters when there is excessive current.

In this animated activity, learners examine the circuitry in a DC variable speed drive that causes the motor to accelerate or decelerate at slow rates. This learning object has audio content.

Learners review descriptions of 10 personality disorders and then test their knowledge in an interactive softball game.

In this animated object, learners examine how to use a programmable logic controller as an alternative to hardwiring a ladder logic circuit.

Learners evaluate how well a set of directions instructs a person about to perform a task for the first time. The focus is on avoiding assumptions.

The learner will understand the operation of motor control circuits used to start and stop three-phase motors.

In this simulation activity, an electrician troubleshoots a defective compressor motor that will not start. To find the problem, the learner selects the appropriate blueprints that must be referred to while performing the troubleshooting steps. Then safety protocols will be followed, such as making lockout-tag out installations and donning PPE items before taking measurements with a multimeter to locate the faulty component.

This animated lesson shows how a ladder circuit causes the cylinder of a hydraulic circuit to continuously extend and retract after a Start button has been pressed.

In this animated object, users view how a kanban signals production to start.

This animated lesson shows how pushing a start or stop button on a ladder circuit causes the cylinder of a hydraulic circuit to extend and retract.
