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 barteltt@fvtc.edu..
