Conforming to the highest measure of educational quality, FACET courseware is designed to facilitate and reinforce progressive mastery of the course material. Delivered by means of training manuals or FACET software, the courseware provides an extensive array of instructional benefits, including:
>> An outline of the principles and concepts covered in each course helps to clarify course content and focus.
>> General and specific objectives stated in each unit help define learning outcomes and
>>
expectations for the trainees.
>>
Topic discussions help foster comprehension.
>>
Hands-on activities provide dynamic and retentive learning.
>>
Emphasis on and definition of new words and phrases throughout the text help trainees develop
>>
comfort and familiarity with highly technical terms.
>>
Equipment lists support trainees' efforts to efficiently organize time and materials.
>>
Troubleshooting skills are facilitated through 12 instructor- or computer-activated fault switches
and 20 circuit-modification switches.
>>
The computer-based system provides these additional benefits:
>>
Automatic screen prompts every three to five screens regularly reinforce learning.
>>
Trainees receive constant feedback with a review test and competency ratings with each exercise,
comprehensive unit tests and additional questions on new material.
>>
Online data collection of exercise results, quizzes and unit tests facilitates instant feedback to trainees.
