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.
Learners study how a circuit converts the AC output of a linear voltage differential transformer (LVDT) into variable DC voltage. It is recommended that learners view the learning object IAU7807, “The LVDT: A Linear Voltage Differential Transformer in Action” before going through this object.
Robotic welding is an increasingly popular tool used in industrial welding applications. Knowing how to program the robot is key. Explore how to improve your programming skills by using if-then-else, calls, unconditional jumps, and counters in this learning activity.
In this learning activity you'll explore how port scanning is commonly used by hackers to infiltrate a network and how IT security professionals can detect it.
Writers block happens to all of us. Homework block is even worse. If you’re stuck on how to get started, watch this video to explore how to generate ideas for speeches, papers, and projects quickly and effectively.
In this animated object, learners examine the operation of an optocoupler, specifically how it is connected to external components to provide interfacing and isolation and how it responds to excessive frequencies. A quiz completes the activity.
Learners reflect on their thoughts, feelings, and reactions toward such listening behaviors as interrupting, selective listening, and unresponsive listening.
Brainstorming helps find new ideas to problems. Learn how you can use brainstorming to write a paper, give a speech, or work on a group project. In this video, you’ll explore what brainstorming is and how to use it.
In this learning activity, we’ll explore what RESTful services are, how they interact with clients and servers, and finally, understand how it works within an HTTP framework.
In this interactive learning activity, learners explore factors that contribute to the aging process. Learners calculate their age based on biological, psychological, and social experiences. Further reflection allows the learner to consider options and assess issues that impact the aging process.
Learners read how nanotechnology is creating new jobs in emerging industries while making others obsolete. This colorful and animated activity also looks at the types of products being created through the use of technology and how educational institutions have responded.
