Abstract

A learning environment for digital electronics is presented, which makes use of the newest information technologies to support all phases of the learning process. Stress is put on the simulation-based software tools that provide interactive learning and allow one to overcome some inherent to the subject difficulties concerning the simultaneous time-dependent presentation in different domains. A structuring mechanism is proposed that facilitates the education software sharing and reuse. Some examples of the practical application of the discussed criteria are shown. Analysis of the impact of using the learning environment to the education results and the trainers role in the process has been performed
