About Our Digital Library
Click on the buttons in the column at left to view the learning objects according
to category.
Our interactive learning objects focus on concepts that cover a broad-based electromechanical
program. Approximately 500 activities have been created on topics such as electronics,
hydraulics, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), automation, mechanical design,
and process control.
Instructors from Fox Valley Technical College (FVTC) in Appleton, Wisconsin, joined
instructors from other colleges in the Wisconsin Technical College System and authors
from several other U.S. colleges in contributing to this repository. The effectiveness
of learning objects was demonstrated in an evaluation conducted at FVTC. To read
a brief summary of the evaluation, click on the Assessment button at the top of
this page.
These objects can also be found on the Wisc-Online digital library at
www.wisconline.org. Learning objects are available to be used at no cost
by teachers and students worldwide via the Internet. For more information about
these learning objects, contact Jeff Chamberlin, Electromechanical Technology team
leader at Fox Valley Technical College, chamber@fvtc.edu,
or Terry Bartelt, the author of most of the learning objects on this website, at
