Learning Objects

Engineering

Dive into Wisc-Online’s rich collection of learning objects — bite-sized, interactive, and designed for real learning. These modular digital tools include animations, drag-and-drop exercises, quizzes, videos, and more. You can explore topics across STEM, arts, humanities, career skills, and beyond. Each learning object is crafted to help learners actively engage with content—reviewing, applying, self-checking—in a way that’s flexible and self-paced.

Why Wisc-Online Moved to WisTech Open

In January 2026, Wisc-Online transitioned to WisTech Open to better align with current educational standards and long-term goals. During this process, the catalog was reviewed and content that did not meet accessibility requirements or was outdated was removed. Games were also taken down, and the team is evaluating the possibility of adding them back in the future with accessibility and quality standards in mind.

Construction
Datum Precedence and Degrees of Freedom
Datum precedence is a fundamental principle in the design and manufacture of mechanical parts and assemblies. It refers to the order of importance assigned to different datums, which are specific points, lines, or planes on a part, which are used as references for measurement and geometric tolerances.
Demultiplexers (Screencast)
In this animated object, learners examine the operation of a demultiplexer along with the data output and select lines. A brief quiz completes the activity.

Depth Measurement
In this learning activity you'll review a visual overview of depth measurement using the depth micrometer.
Depth Micrometer Review
In this interaction the student is presented with 20 questions identifying depth micrometer measurements.
Derivative Control Mode Analogy (Screencast)
In this animated object, learners view a race of two boats as an example of how the derivative function of a PID controller shortens the time duration of an operation.
