LabSim™

The Practical Hands-on Experience Needed to Succeed in the IT Industry

Course Technology offers a complete line of LabSim™ products. Developed by TestOut, a pioneer in developing applied multimedia and simulation technologies for learning environments, the unique LabSim™ product allows students to simulate an operating system and network configuration on a home computer without the need of additional hardware or software.

What is LabSim?

LabSim™ enables student to work in a true-to-life computing environment. Intelligent simulations allow learners to apply what they have learned in their study, and practice critical troubleshooting skills without the threat of disabling a live operating system or network. Below are the features found in LabSim™.

Open Simulations: Open simulations are critical to the learning process. They model a real system and let students perform the same tasks they can perform on a real system. Open simulations let students explore alternate solutions for completing a task, and view the consequences of specific actions. Students learn through trial and error instead of being guided through specific steps. In addition, feedback is provided at the conclusion of each simulation exercise, alerting the user to what was completed correctly and what was not.
Demonstrations: Demonstrations are designed to teach students how to perform certain tasks using clearly defined steps. They are powerful instructional tools when combined with open simulations.
Multimedia Tools: Video, audio, animations, and illustrative graphics are used to present complex topics and tasks in an instructional and visual manner.
Technical Glossary: The glossary allows instant access to hundreds of technical terms and definitions, all in a searchable database.
Bookmarks and Notepad: Bookmarks allow students to quickly reference areas of study they wish to revisit. A convenient notepad lets them record notes or questions for later review.

LabSim™ products are currently available for popular Microsoft MCSE/MCSA courses, Network+, Security+, A+ Core Hardware and OS Technologies. CD-based and stand-alone versions allow for installation onto any PC. It is like taking an interactive learning lab at home, without the expensive setup costs.
