Abstract

This paper presents a new Web tool for the power electronics learning. This tool has several goals. The first goal is to teach power electronics through interactive animations. To support the student´s learning in a more active way a chat option is also provided. This interactive option allows the students to communicate with the teacher and with other students. In order to test and verify the students knowledge an option with questions are also provided. This option provides several oriented questions in order to identify some problems in the learning of the students. This last tool will give to the students a path where they should focus their study.
