Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), digital equipment with microprocessor, have long been widely used in the field of industrial automation. Unlike the hardware wiring of conventional relay control, the propgraming of PLCs can be designed through the software. Therefore, PLCs have play an important role in the industrial automation due to the advantages of convenience and flexibility. As a result, PLC related courses have been essential courses in the vocational education. To increase learning interests and foster practical skills, many educators design and develop various teaching methods and teaching aids. This paper proposes an e-learning platform to increase learning interests of PLCs related courses. The e-learning platform offers both out-of-classroom and in-classroom learning via interactive learning content made by software Adobe Captivate. With the e-learning platform, the courses come alive with themes and interactive elements. Such an e-learning platform makes teachers not only increase learning interest of students during in-classroom learning but also offer a way for students to prepare a course before class, review a course after class, and practice repeatedly. Students are supposed to benefit in these courses via the proposed e-learning platform.
