e-Leaming Environments for Digital Circuit Experiments

This paper proposes e-Learning environments far digital circuit experiment. The e-Learning environments are implemented as a WBT system that includes the circuits monitoring system and the students management system. In the WBT client-server system, the instructor represents the server and students represent clients. The client computers are equipped with a digital circuit training board and connected to the server on the World Wide Web. The training board consists of a Programmable Logic Device (PLD) and measuring instruments. The instructor can reconfigure the PLD with various circuit designs from the server so that students can investigate signals from the training board. The instructor can monitor the progress of the students using Joint Test Action Grouo(JTAG) technology. We implement the WBT system and a courseware fo digital circuits and evaluation the environments.
