ACCESS
THE SESSIONS ANYTIME, ANYWHERE AT YOUR CONVENIENCE !
WHAT IS THE MEDIA PLAYER FORMAT ?
The
MediaPlayer Format is an
internet-based, structured, on-demand, asynchronous engineering training
system
deploying as its core technology, dedicated streaming servers which give users access to
training sessions with syncronized whiteboard and audio.
The
Media Player format contains two files: electronic WhiteBoard files and MP3
Audio files
The
Media Player format sessions are developed at the ENSYS
MultiMedia production facilities.
The
Media Player format sessions are then installed in an Online Classroom at the ENSYS SuperSite.
The
Media Player format enables users to access the sessions asynchronously at their
convenience, anytime, anywhere.
The
Media Player format enables users to access the sessions
from
any computer anywhere:
desktop, office, laptop, wireless connection, pocket PC, hotels, airplane,
ships.
The
Media Player format is perfect for users who are unable to attend the live
sessions.
If a user conflicts with the scheduled times of the
Live Inhouse format or the
Live Multipoint format, the user can obtain all the
information by logging in asynchronously anytime, at his convenience in the
Media Player format
Network with full access to all
the live sessions, in a recorded, format: integrated audio and
whiteboard.
The
Media Player format is perfect for users who prefer to work at their own
pace and on their own schedule.
The
Media Player format costs less than the live formats.
The user will be able to follow the sessions as if they were
live, the user will get the same information from the live sessions,
willhear all the discussions including all the questions and
explanations.
This format enables the user to access the sessions
repeatedly for maximum reinforcement.
This repeated access can also be
used for refresher and review purposes before the exams.
Users who register late for any ENSYS Training Program, can use the Media
Player format
to make up missed sessions and rapidly merge with
the class.
The
Media Player format
uses a computer / server / network / software which is separate and distinct from the Live Multipoint network.
Users now have complete flexibility in accessing their sessions.
Users who prefer the dynamic, live format can choose the
Live Inhouse format or the Live Multipoint format.
Users whose work / school schedule conflicts with the
live session schedule, can log in the Media Player sessions asynchronously at anytime from
any computer.
Users of the Live Multipoint format or the Live Multipoint format can add the
Media Player format as
an option.
This will enable them to rework the session with full audio
/ whiteboard as it was generated .

SSIMS
is an alternative method to learn engineering science, pioneered and
developed by ENSYS
SSIMS
has been succesfully implemented by ENSYS for over 45,000 hours to train
thousands of engineering students and professionals. SSIMS
has shown dramatic improvements in the acquisition, comprehension and
retention of engineering knowledge.
In
the SSIMS-method, MORE is learned in LESS time
One
hour of SSIMS session time equals 5 to 10 hours of self-study by the users
SSIMS
is implemented as a time-management tool in engineering coursework with
dramatically improved understanding, comprehension and retention. The
objective of SSIMS
is to facilitate faster learning with greater understanding, comprehension
and retention.
SSIMS
integrates problem-solving, feedback and interactioN
into a highly structured
time-management program.
All
topics are first presented as a step-by-step procedure
followed
by problems which are hand-solved by the user. The user receives his tasks
in the form of an array of problems, sequenced in increasing
difficulty-levels. Technical information is strategically presented and
constantly displayed on information screens.
Predetermined
time periods are then given to work on problems
Users hand-solve all problems during
the session thus retaining control of their skill-development, which now
proceeds in a managed interactive format. While users hand-solve the problems,
the solution is simultaneously presented live, in real-time on the computer
screen.
While
the user is working on the problem
his
work is monitored and feedback on algebraic errors, conceptual errors,
solution-procedures and problem-solving methodology is presented. Users
can get instant feedback while solving problems by discussing solution
strategies with the instructor or with other eBook members. Now when the
user encounters difficulties, he has available to him a hierarchy of
help-levels. The user can select the level and number of help-levels
depending on the severity of his difficulties: technical information
screens, the solution screen and communication channels with the
instructor and other users are available. The user obtains instant
clarification of concepts, equations, procedures and mistakes.
Problem-solving
is followed by
a
detailed discussion of solution strategies. After the preset
time-period has expired, the problem is carefully analyzed.
The cycle then repeats in the next problem.
In
the SSIMS
format, users SUCCESFULLY hand solve THOUSANDS OF PROBLEMS
users gain confidence, practice and
skill and are provided with feedback, reinforcement, repetition and discussion
in every phase of the Training program.
Users
are organized
with a comprehensive course kit, with
color-coded sheets for quick access to material.
SSIMS
is a revolutionary new method to learn engineering.
IN
THE SSIMS METHOD MORE
IS LEARNED IN LESS
TIME.
with dramatically improved
understanding, comprehension and retention.
SSIMS
is implemented as a time-management tool in engineering coursework
SSIMS
targets the problems, inefficiencies, duplication and delays of the old
method of learning engineering science
SSIMS
has shown dramatic improvements in the performance of engineering WORKERS
The
objective of SSIMS
is to facilitate faster learning
with greater understanding,
comprehension and retention by engineering knowledge workers: students,
technicians, engineering professionals.
In
the SSIMS
format, users meet for regularly scheduled sessions
SSIMS
integrates all traditional information-sources
with problem-solving,
feedback and interaction into a highly structured time-management program.
In
each SSIMS
session the user receives his tasks in the form of an array of problems
sequenced in increasing
difficulty-levels. Technical information is strategically presented and
constantly displayed on information screens. Predetermined time periods are
then given to work on problems in which the user retains control of his
skill-development, which now proceeds in a managed interactive format.
Concurrently, the problem solution is presented on solution screens.
WHILE
the user
solves the problem
his work is monitored and
feedback on algebraic errors, conceptual errors, solution-procedures and
problem-solving methodology is presented. Now when the user encounters
difficulties, he has available to him a hierarchy of help-levels. The user can
select the level and number of help-levels depending on the severity of his
difficulties: technical information screens, the solution screen and
communication channels with the instructor and other users are available. The
user obtains instant clarification of concepts, equations, procedures and
mistakes.
After
the preset time-period has expired
the problem is carefully
analyzed in a group discussion where additional clarification is given. The
cycle then repeats in the next problem.
The assignment outlines the tasks to be performed in the
session. It presents the structure of the chapter broken down into topics and
subtopics. Next to each topic is shown an array of problems which is carefully
sequenced in level of difficulty. This array of problems is compiled from the
class textbook, other textbooks and old exams, and includes assigned homework
problems
