All New Electrical Theory Simulator – It’s Better Than Ever!
The electrical training ALLIANCE is excited to announce, the all new Electrical Theory Simulator (ETS) is almost complete. Beginning the first week of December we will be removing the previous version of the ETS and it’s associated labs from the current AC Theory and DC Theory topics and replacing them with the all new model. The new version was built to not only resolve the old operating system and browser concerns…including the necessary loading tools and Flash, but also to allow for a more simple interaction, better functionality, and future additions.

Course Completion and Grade Management Tracking Integrated into TMS
Capturing learner course completion status and managing their course grades are now included as part of the Training Management System feature set. This new tool allows you to manage documenting course completion in the same manner that the course enrollments were made. This powerful tool pulls in LMS coursework progress and the online Test Assessment scores (where the online feature is being used) directly into your view for use in documenting the completion. Since this information is already stored in the system, the process for determining completion is a snap and allows you to later pull reports and learner transcripts. (more…)
