Control Charts provides seven hours of interactive multimedia instruction in a core set of SPC skills. Using color graphics, animation, comprehensive audio narration and extensive student interaction, this ten-lesson course teaches the fundamentals of SPC through demonstrations and exercises. After completing the course students will be able to select the proper control chart for a given type of data, calculate and plot data values and analyze and interpret the data to measure consistency and quality. Control Charts lets students advance through the course at their own pace, and measures their progress with practice questions during each lesson, tests at the end of each lesson, and a comprehensive final exam at the end of the course.
Students can print test reports and teachers can access reports to track their students' progress.
Manipulation Students manipulate graphics to learn basic concepts before doing complex calculations. Interpretation Through the direct inspection of data, students learn to recognize and measure quality. Calculation Complex operations are built up from simple skills. Onscreen tools assist in problem solving. For example, students can manipulate data and graphics onscreen and access a variety of tools, such as an onscreen calculator for solving simple problems.
