• real voice narration of most screens
• high resolution graphics and photos
• many motion video clips
• animation for clarification of systems and devices
• a 20-question end quiz
• a pop-up calculator for math problems
• references to the CSU (Ken Kerri) manuals

The course features:

• a tracking program which can monitor work by several students
• the ability to input your own custom information
• three certification caliber final exams
• math available in either US or metric units
• a bookmark so students can return to a specific spot in any lesson
• a master index (keyword) of the entire course
• individual lesson indexes

The course costs $750(US).  A site license (6 simultaneous units) is $2420 should you need to utilize the courseware in a learning lab or have multiple computers in an organization.
