VIRTOOL Solarterm
Working with VIRTOOL
The practical activity library is divided into study cases.
With VIRTOOL SolarTerm, the user/student performs the learning activities by solving case studies in a virtual environment. Users have all the information required for the case studies:
- A full description
- Back-up materials
- Instructions are constantly provided and errors notified, helping students to successfully solve all the case studies
- Online reports can be obtained for student assessment by tutors
LEARNING BY DOING
The application is based on problem-based learning and enables independent study. Its advanced educational design is a result of the latest studies conducted in this field and stateof-the-art technology. (PBL Problem Based Learning, Self-Training, Learning by Doing).
SAFE, INDESTRUCTIBLE INSTALLATIONS
Reduces the risk of accidents and damage to equipment during the training process.
LOWER TRAINING COSTS
The time spent working at real installations is shorter, and genuinely effective learning is provided with less need for tutor support.
ONE INSTALLATION, ONE STUDENT
Each student works on their own separate installation.
INSTALLATIONS AVAILABLE 24 HOURS A DAY
Interaction
