Developing object‐based learning environment to promote learners' motivation for learning digital systems

This article aims at sharing the authors' experiences with object‐based learning environment. The purpose of this study is to assess the learners' perceptions and usage of learning objects in Digital Systems course. Overall, learning objects are good alternative learning strategy, which enables learners to take more control over their own learning. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
