In this research, an experiment composed of a pre-test and a post-test on the sampled learners was conducted to measure if the learning environment was helpful for them in improving their automotive air conditioning system troubleshooting knowledge and skills. In addition, a user satisfaction questionnaire survey was also conducted and the user satisfaction rate reached as high as nearly 0.98, indicating the learners did find the learning system satisfactory and helpful. In conclusion, the learning system developed in this research can help promote the training of automotive air conditioning system maintenance and repair.
