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.
In this interactive object, learners examine the five problem-solving steps of Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. Some of the most common measures and tools are listed for each step.
Users read about how course competencies relate to program outcomes. They listen to the testimonies of three students who describe learning activities that prepared them for the world of work. In a matching exercise, learners distinguish between course competencies and program outcomes.
Using the Microstepping Technique for Stepper Motors
Learners view animations showing how electrical signals are applied to the coils of a stepper motor to perform microstepping. A short quiz completes the activity.
Learners examine the sourcing and sinking of conventional current at a PLC output module and the type of field device to which it is connected. This interactive learning object includes six quiz questions.
Using Blueprints to Troubleshoot a Defective Compressor Motor
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.
Learners examine strategies for evaluating new ideas and accepting change. They consider a list of various reactions to change and a list of actions that enhance teamwork, and check those statements that apply to themselves.
