Internet Oriented Logic Design Labs - Tempus Workshop

1. Tempus workshop – Molika 2003 Internet Oriented Realization of Logic Design Labs Radomir S. Stanković Dragan Janković Faculty of Electronic Engineering University of Niš Serbia Claudio Moraga Institute of Computer Science University of Dortmund Germany

2. Tempus workshop – Molika 2003 Logic Design course – main feature: dynamic content of the course Continuation of the work presented at previous Tempus workshops Repetition: Using NetMeeting in Labs organization. • Disadvantages: • limited applicability • slow communication • high cost Goal: multipurpose Web oriented labs as a part of a complete education process.

3. Tempus workshop – Molika 2003 Goal Multipurpose lab exercices • Lab exercises • Practicing at home • Examples during lecturing • Evaluation of students work • Development and checking simple • research examples • Reusability for different courses • Demonstration of preliminary • research results

4. Tempus workshop – Molika 2003 Why Internet oriented ? Remote teaching Distance learning Repetitivity Exchange of examples of lab exercices Continuous access On-line testing

5. Tempus workshop – Molika 2003 Features Open system Dynamic development Adaptivity to - students’ background - course level Different tools are included
