SANDE-TS Course Demos
This sample is from a refresher course on eddy current testing. Learners are immersed in a multimedia environment combining audio narration with on screen text and graphics to convey basic eddy current testing processes and equipment. Quizzes are an integral part of the course and are designed to assess content retention after each lesson.
This sample is from a highly interactive tutorial on the Nortec 2000D eddy current instrument. Learners are instructed in proper uses of the instrument and are then asked to apply their knowledge in a series of simulated exercises. The course concludes with a quiz to assess mastery of course material.
