Espial - Unique interactive teaching software

Espial means “to discover by observation” and describes the didactic concept behind our well established Discovery software. To emphasise that the new version is called Espial. Espial extends the boundaries of teaching and learning, as well as being a more student focussed environment.

The most important philosophy of our Espial software package is the interactivity with teaching hardware. Espial can be applied to many products within our range of teaching products and is used extensively within the telecommunications, control and basic electronics ranges.

The teaching content is provided within the software; this includes the underlying theory, written so that it does not make extensive use of mathematics. An important part of the content is to highlight the assignment learning objectives and to convey relevant background to the student. Consequently, the student is well prepared for the practical work using the hardware, and can put the results into perspective.

Espial operates so that its appearance and the range of instrumentation depend on the context. So, for example, if the practical-work requires the use of complex instrumentation such a constellation or a phase meter, one is made available, whereas at lower levels of study it would not be provided. Test instruments are initialised with settings suitable for the required measurements, but students are often expected to change them during the practical work. The instruments have cursors to make measurements and their displays may be printed or exported for inclusion in laboratory reports.
