Online Development of Digital Logic Design Course

Abstract

Over the past few years, a shift to the use of multimedia in teaching is being implemented to enhance the learning process. This paper outlines the experience obtained through the development of digital design course to be taught online over the Internet. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of these innovative learning strategies over the traditional chalkboard learning. This e-course has been in use since the completion of the development phase and is now in its second year of implementation. Initially, it was used entirely as supporting or supplementary material. Feedback taken from students indicated that the e-material enhanced their understanding of the course. Currently, it is being tested in the blended mode where selected material from the e-course is taught to students completely online.
