DELMAR AUTOMOTIVE TRAINING ONLINE - DIAGNOSTIC SCENARIOS (DATO) Manual Transmissions creates a rich-media learning experience for your students and challenges them to master diagnostic and repair practices in 10 realistic scenarios that span all systems areas. Combining sound instructional design with top-quality computer graphics,students develop their critical thinking skills and apply them to real-world customer concerns. Each scenario addresses a simulated problem on a specific vehicle and teaches students to use a structured diagnostic process that starts with a customer-stated concern on a repair order and ends with repair verification. DATO minimizes on-screen reading and maximizes engagement by requiring learners to prove that they've done the critical thinking and problem-solving involved in problem diagnosis. Unlike other rote-learning online solutions, DATO requires learners to do more than click their way through the program. It's also a lot more fun!
