A little about Realityworks• DISTRIBUTION INTO EDUCATION
62% of school districts in the U.S.90 countries worldwide31,000 institutions6,000,000 students served through the use of our
products
• EDUCATIONAL FOCUSHardware, software, & curriculum development

Experiential Learning Technology4
Today's educational welding lab
• 8 – welding booths per school on average• 22 – average number of students/class • 33% – students with cognitive disabilities
Classroom management is an issue Instructors are trained as CTE educators, not
always in the specific disciplines (like welding)There may be little to no instructional materials
available

Better, Faster, Engaged Learning• Game-like interface engages students in a way they are accustomed to
• Immediate feedback on skills and weld quality• Repetitive play improves muscle memory learning
• Excellent distance learning aid: Students can practice remotely and come in for physical assessments periodically

Exercises with Assessments• 450 practice exercises
allow for self-paced exploration
• Printed assessments provide immediate feedback and diagnostics
• Excellent cognitive learning tool
• Opportunity to require mastery before releasing students to the shop floor

• Student assessment teaches the interdependent relationshipsof:
– Heat input– Motion straightness– Work angle– Travel angle– Nozzle-plate distance– Welding speed– Voltage– Weld size– Root penetration
• Assessments saved for teacher review
