DIGITAL RESOURCE: Wisc-Online

Drawing on a wide range of subject expertise, the Wisconsin Online ResourceCenter (Wisc-Online) is a digital library of web-based learning resources known as "learning objects". Learning objects" are essentially self-contained small chunks of learning that can be embedded in a learning activity, lesson, unit or course. The site includes over 2170 of these objects, and new objects are being developed continuously. Visitors will need to complete a short registration form before they are allowed to access all of the materials on the site, but they can certainly get a sense of what the site includes by checking out the "New Learning Objects" area. Here they will find everything from animated presentations showing how the pH level of a cleaning solution is controlled to an interactive activity on industrial automation.
