It offers full managementof classroom, groups, and contentaccess.MindSight allows instructors to manage enrollment, schedule learningactivities, communicate withusers, customize courseware, andtrack and report individual achievement.Course content and class management are controlled from the instructor-access controlled software.MindSight can be connected to aworkstation with training hardware,or as a stand-alone, e-learning program without hardware.6www.festo-didactic.comMindSight provides thesefeatures:Classroom management– Add and delete students– Create groups– Create and delete passwords– Run activity and assessmentreportsContent Management– Import additional MindSight content from CD, DVD, or external device– Manage course catalogs– Upload new SCORM courses– Add a new catalog– Manage catalogs– Assign User Groups to catalogsTeacher AnnotationsTeachers can change words or paragraphs and add additional text, supplementary information, or instructions within the curriculum.Course Content EditingEasy-to-use tools enable the additionof information, course building fromexisting content, and SCORM package uploading. Tools also enable youto run external applications.Access to students’ electronicjournalsInstructors can communicate withstudents about notes they save inthe journals, projects, progress, etc.Announcement PostingTeachers can send messages to theentire class in one easy step.Real-Time Journal/BlogInstructors can communicate withselected students in writing. Theblog feature enhances communication among teachers and students.Application TabAny application can be linked to theapplication tab and launched fromthis tab in the top right corner of thescreen.Student NotesEach content screen displays a student notes icon that opens a notetaking window in front of the contentscreen. Students can see the contentabout which they are taking notes.These notes can then be printed outindividually or exported to a singlefile for printing.ReportingTeachers can run reports by Coursesor Students. More reports features,including Competencies and Standards, are currently in development.

A client software isinstalled on each workstation andthe data are hosted on our server.Requirements to run MindSightServer requirements:Recommendations are for serverconnectivity. Network appliance itselfis supplied by Festo and requiresa 10 Mb Ethernet LAN connection.Recommended access to internet viaport 80/443 (HTTP/SSL) or via proxyserver will allow for quick and easyregistration and updating.Client Workstation, recommended:– Internet Explorer 7– .NET 3.0 framework– Flash 8(multimedia may require Flash 9)– Sound card– 100Mb Ethernet– 1280 pixel width display resolutionClient Workstation, minimum:– Microsoft Windows XP– Internet Explorer 6– .NET 3.0 framework– Flash 8(multimedia may require Flash 9)– Sound card– 10 Mb Ethernet– 1024 pixel width display resolutionMindSight — LAN588921MindSight — WEB589244A licensing fee for such usage willapply.www.festo-didactic.com7

Electrical engineering/Electronics Electronics training system FACET The FACET base units1 Computerized Base UnitThe computerized base unit is linkedto the computer automatically by thecourseware when needed, and canalso be activated via a USB portby the teacher through passwordprotected software. The computerized base unit contains 32 relayscontrolled by commands from thestudent’s computer. Circuit Modifications (CM) and faults are switchedin and out automatically by the software.11 Computerized Base Unit 91000-5x580867A message on the student’s computer screen indicates that a CM or faultis activated. In the troubleshootingexercises, faults are also inserted automatically by the computer, therebyfreeing the instructor to assist students with individual activities.2 Manual Base UnitThe Manual Base Unit contains a total of 32 Circuit Modification (CM)and fault switches. Students manually select CM switches as the courseprogresses, while the protected faultswitches are reserved for Instructoruse by means of an integrated, locking-cover assembly.2The FACET base units provide voltage supply with protection and conditioning circuitry to run each FACET board.Specific features of all FACET baseunits include:– Distributed 15 and -15 V DC, andvariable 10 V DC power to the various circuit training boards.
