Keimos Operating Systems Courses

Our courses use simulations extensively to provide opportunities for students to learn & practice skills-based content. This 'learning by doing' model is far more effective than the traditional true/false, multiple choice approach. Live application software is not needed.

Interactive content is used often in the courses to engage the learner's attention, to reinforce and exercise skills being taught, and to provide feedback on the learner's grasp of a skill or concept.
