Wind Turbine Virtual Tour

The Wind Turbine Virtual Tour is the corner-stone of the Wind Power Systems program. Using 360 degree panoramic film techniques the Virtual Tour allow students to explore all sectors of a wind turbine from the entry door to standing strapped to the

top of the nacelle over-looking the countryside.

Each sector contains red turbine call-outs that students access as needed to learn in-depth concepts related to that technology.

Instructors may choose to have students

complete the virtual tour before entering the six ITZ courses described on the following pages or have them access the tour as they work through the foundational technologies provided by ITZ.

AC/DC Motors & Drives is designed to help trainees under-stand how electrical motors and drives work with each other and other systems. Trainees also learn how to iden-tify and calculate the speed, torque, and horsepower of a motor, how motors and drives operate, how to identify the hardware and firmware involved in motor operation, and safety considerations associated with operating electrome-chanical systems.

Introducing Mind-Sight™: Lab-Volt’s Multimedia

eTraining/Learning Management System

Lab-Volt’s new eSeries enhances learning speed and retention by featuring interactive multimedia course- ware for

circuit design and analysis within our new Mind-Sight Learning and Content Management (LCMS) system.

What is Mind-Sight?

Lab-Volt’s Mind-Sight program is a seamless integration

of courseware delivery and classroom management with

hands-on learning activities.

Instructors and administrators can use Mind-Sight to

manage student enrollment, schedule learning activi-

ties, customize courseware curriculum, and track perfor-

mance objectives and assessments.

Mind-Sight is currently offered as a LAN-based

solution to deliver curriculum locally.

Mind-Sight Features

Mind-Sight LCMS and Utilities

Mind-Sight is a powerful new platform that oper-

ates all components of the multimedia curriculum,

as well as the classroom-management system.

Mind-Sight provides these features:

Content Management: Import additional Mind-

Sight content from CD, DVD, or external device.

Manage course catalogs. Upload new SCORM

courses. Add a new catalog. Manage catalogs.

Assign User Groups to catalogs.

Teacher Annotations: Teachers can change

words or paragraphs and add additional text,

supplementary information, or instructions within

the curriculum.

Course Content Editing: Easy-to-use tools

enable the addition of information, course build-

ing from existing content, and SCORM package

uploading.

Access to students’ electronic journals: Instructors can communicate with students about notes they save in

the journals, projects, progress, etc.

Announcement Posting: Teachers can send

messages to the entire class in one easy step.

Journal/Blog: Instructors can communicate

with selected students in writing. The blog

feature enhances communication among

teachers and students.

Application Tab: Any application can be

linked to the application tab and launched

from this tab in the top right corner of the

screen.

Student Notes: Each content screen dis-

plays a student notes icon that opens a note-

taking window in front of the content screen.

Students can see the content about which

they are taking notes. These notes can then

be printed out individually or exported to a

single file for printing.

Reporting: Teachers can run reports by

Courses or Students. More reports features,

including Competencies and Standards, are

currently in development.
