Watch the webinar ‘Electude Simulator’, which covers all of the above.
6.1. Finding the Electude Simulator
To find the Electude Simulator, take the following steps:
Click on the ‘Modules’ tab in the LMS.
In the left menu, navigate to ‘Default (by subject)’. This folder will expand, and modules will appear under this button.
Navigate to the ‘Electude Simulator’ folder and click on it. Under ‘Folders’, you will see the predefined faults divided into three different levels (Basic, Advanced, and Specialist). Under ‘Modules’, you will find ‘Electude Simulator – Engine Management’. This means there are no faults, making it perfect for students to practice without getting a score.
Note: To use the Simulator in your class, it is recommended to use a student account for teaching. A teacher account has the title of the fault on the screen, giving away what the fault is about. This is not the case within a student account.
6.2. Different levels of faults
The Electude Simulator contains three different levels of faults: Basic, Advanced and Specialist.
Basics: These are the easiest faults for students to solve. They also contain a work order; it’s more detailed and gives away the steps the students need to take in order to solve the fault.
Advanced: Advanced faults still have a work order but with fewer descriptions. Students also have fewer diagnostics tools available.
Specialist: These are the hardest faults for students to solve. Students only have a minimum number of diagnostic tools available.
6.3. Diagnostic tools
To find the diagnostic tools, hover over the tools tab on the left side of your screen. To use one of the tools, you need to click on its name. To remove the tool from the screen, click on the name again.
6.4. Creating your own faults
To create your own Electude Simulator faults, take the following steps:
Click on the ‘Modules’ tab in the LMS.
In the left menu, navigate to ‘Default (by subject)’. This folder will expand, and modules will appear under this button.
Navigate to the ‘Electude Simulator’ folder and click on it.
Click on the ‘+’ under ‘Modules’ to create your own Electude Simulator fault.
Next to ‘type’, choose simulation.
Add a title. You can also add a description and/or level (Advanced, Basics, Specialist).
Click on ‘add’ to create your own Electude Simulator fault.
A new screen will show the ELECTUDE SIMULATOR SETTINGS. You can choose your faults, type a work order, and check the available tools for the students.
Click ‘OK’ to create your own Electude Simulator fault.
