Shop Essentials (Applied Mathematics)120060Geometry: Lines and Angles 151
It has been revised to include a greater emphasis on the real-world value of geometry in manufacturing. Specifically, the class now includes descriptions and examples of how understanding lines and angles allow users to accurately interpret prints, set up machines, align parts, and inspect features. Lessons that previously relied on busy, text-based sample math problems have been updated with clearer, step-by-step examples.

Manual Machining280145Engine Lathe Operation 261
This class has been updated to replace redundant lessons with new lessons on adjusting speed and feed and machine maintenance, which are essential to lathe operation. Other relevant content, including information on chip evacuation, grinding lathe tool bits, and dial indicators, has also been added. We updated the media to better illustrate concepts and to walk learners through the different methods of cutting on a lathe.
Jan-26
Fasteners760010Introduction to Assembly 101
Select media and explanations have been updated to improve design and clarity. Key vocabulary terms have been rewritten to focus more specifically on how these terms apply to assembly. Some text has been reworded to make the class easier to follow.

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)720020Introduction to the Industrial Internet of Things 111
This class was updated and refocused to place stronger emphasis on connectivity, architecture, and AI enablement. The goal was to align the material with current industry trends while keeping all examples practical and applicable. The new content highlights how data flows through IIoT systems and how devices and networks stay connected. It also explains how intelligence is added through modern systems that use industrial networking, integrated sensors, and AI or machine learning applied to IIoT data streams.

Shop Essentials (Applied Mathematics)120065Geometry: Circles and Polygons 171
This class has been updated to increase emphasis on practical applications of circles and polygons in manufacturing contexts to better demonstrate how geometric concepts apply to tasks such as interpreting prints, planning layouts, and ensuring part accuracy. We expanded the circles section to include central angles and more explicit angle-based calculations, and clarified relationships between tangents, angles, and circle properties. In the polygons portion, we added information about exterior angles and strengthened coverage of polygon classifications and calculation methods. We also introduced a new focus on solving integrated problems involving tangents, polygons, and angle relationships.

Hydraulics and Pneumatics480130Introduction to Hydraulic Components 221
This class was updated to improve reading comprehension and include more refined vocabulary definitions. Some media has also been replaced to better demonstrate the concepts in the accompanying lessons. 
Apr-26
Energy Storage730245Battery Cell Electrode Manufacturing 345This class was updated to include additional information about how air can contaminate electrode slurry during the mixing process. We also updated illustrations and animations to improve the clarity of some details shown during the coating, drying, and calendering processes. Lastly, we made minor edits to some lessons and vocabulary terms to improve clarity and added additional vocabulary terms to the class.Apr-26

Energy Storage730250Battery Cell Quality Testing 350We revised this class to add perspective on point-in-time and continuous testing. The main updates occurred in Lesson 10 to describe these testing methods in relation to open circuit voltage testing, delta OCV rate, and potentiostatic testing and in Lesson 12 to describe them in relation to load, capacity, and cycle testing. We also made some minor text and media updates to improve clarity.Jun-26
Electrical Systems420180Conductor Selection 291
This class has been updated to match the most recent edition of the National Electrical Code® published in 2026. These updates include revisions to several vocabulary terms as well as some media updates. In addition, some text has been revised for clarity.

Supervisor Essentials950020Managing Performance: Best Practices 120
This class provides frontline leaders with a look at best practices for leading people. All lessons and objectives were updated. The vast majority of topic coverage remained the same, with the inclusion of some new content related to behaviors, attitudes, and practices expected of leadership figures; laws and regulations that guide performance management; the development of SMART goals for guiding performance; and handling conflict, poor performance, and discipline. All media was updated to ensure optimal connections between imagery and the text. Additionally, scenario-style animations were used to "show" rather than "tell" learners how to handle certain situations.
