Lincoln Electric Introduces
Course Builder : Curriculum
Planning Made Easy
Helps Instructors Quickly Create a Comprehensive U / LINC Curriculum Plan
Lincoln Electric ® presents Course Builder , a timesaving , curriculum-planning tool for welding educators . The Course Builder program guides instructors to create a curriculum calendar that helps organize instructional time , select specific and appropriate Lincoln Electric U / LINC ® content and take the headache out of curriculum planning . It also helps track the lesson plan ’ s compliance with state standards and requirements .
The set-up process is simple – instructors answer a brief series of questions about the course of study , teaching level and length of plan , while noting any blackout dates for holidays or school events . After just a few keystrokes , Course Builder creates a comprehensive curriculum plan that spans a chosen time frame – from just the coming week to a full year of instruction .
Once it populates the calendar , Course Builder tells instructors where their training program stands in terms of compliance . The tool creates a detailed audit specifying which state standards the curriculum plan meets and where it falls short . Educators can modify the plan as needed .
“ Course Builder simplifies and speeds up the typically time-consuming and difficult process of curriculum planning ,” says Jason Scales , business manager , educational products and services , Lincoln Electric . “ Using it , welding educators can build a solid framework for their courses and spend more time teaching instead of planning .”
The new Course Builder program works seamlessly with Lincoln Electric ’ s U / LINC learning management system . U / LINC provides instructors with readymade curriculum to teach anything from the most basic welding and safety practices to some of the most advanced aspects of the welding trade – production , engineering and manufacturing , automation and CNC plasma cutting .
U / LINC curriculum is continuously updated to meet the needs of today ’ s students , the requirements of academic administrators and the demands of the welding industry . It offers more than 1,000 educational assets – including lesson plans , lab activities , student assessments and presentations that are all AWS SENSE-compliant and aligned with most state competencies – in a subscription-based system .
