are diverse, containing presentations,
animations, text, videos and interactive
exercises.
Since the customer needs are varied,
several training packages are available.
The keywords for EduPACK
Basic are conventional training and
e-learning with EduCAT. EduPACK
Advanced offers an additional knowledge
test for control of success.
A web portal for e-learning is planned
to be realized in the near future.
Each trainee will have personal
access to the portal, where his/her
additional questions will immediately
be answered by experts. On the
Internet, you can evaluate your
learning success online at any time.
And if necessary, go through it all
over once again ...
If a fair amount of answers is correct,
the trainee can print a certificate as a

Joachim Schipp, training developer at
Voith Paper St. Pölten in Austria, is
one of the brains behind EduCAT. According
to him, the goal is to provide
complete, standardized computerbased
training. However, having one
module ready will not be enough.
Since every paper machine is unique,
all modules are tailored according to
the respective customer's needs.
Operators or technologists have other
needs than maintenance people. But
no matter who is learning, there is
one subject they all have in common:
safety.
All the machine sections and functions
can be trained on the computer.
No matter, if a single part rebuild or a
complete new machine is concerned
– everything is possible. Moreover,
Interactive training with EduPACK Advanced helps to deepen and evaluate what has been learned so far.
Thanks to repeatable training modules, the goal of 100% know-how is within reach!
the training modules can be updated
and adapted to existing machine sections.
EduCAT can also help solving tricky
questions. “Especially if the problem
is of technological nature, a special
training module can be programmed
for it“, the developer remarks.

Blending is the answer
Even if Joachim Schipp's job is to
develop e-learning, he believes that a
perfect training does not consist of
computer-based learning only.
“We would never just send the interactive
training CDs to the customer
and then let him alone with them“,
he emphasizes.
The best alternative would be “blended
training“ with EduPACK Advanced.
