Robotics
Learning Objects
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.

Wisc-Online FAQs
Explore this section for helpful answers to common questions regarding Wisc-Online.
Why did Wisc-Online change?
Wisc-Online has upported millions of learners for over 20 years. It was time for a refresh! By moving to WisTech Open, we were able to continue offering free, high-quality learning resources on a more modern, sustainable platform.
What happened with the Wisc-Online Arcade?
The Play Games Arcade went offline at the time Wisc-Online moved to WisTech Open.
Do saved links or bookmarks still work?
No, bookmarks to the old site stopped working after December 2025.
What happened to Wisc-Online objects that were downloaded into LMS platforms?
If instructors had downloaded and embedded Wisc-Online objects (like SCORM packages) into their LMS, those continued to work even after the Wisc-Online site transitioned to WisTech Open. These objects were self-contained and did not rely on the live site.
Is there an opportunity to develop new content?
Yes. Ideas for new content could be shared at https://www.wistechopen.org/contact by selecting “Pitch a Project Idea.” All project ideas were considered based on available funding.
