Intelligent tutoring tool for digital logic design course (ITDiL)

This paper explains the development of an intelligent tutoring tool for digital logic design. The authors´ objective is to design and implement a multimedia based computerized teaching aid that are based on self-directed learning (SDL) approach. SDL allows the students to practice on their design and explore in a new way of learning tutorial with various options in learning digital logic course. Years of experience in teaching this subject together with references book have been used as a guideline for designing this model to ensure the effective transfer of knowledge from teacher to student. As a pilot test, they try to guide the students on how to build Karnaugh map (K-map) from a truth table. Students are free to input any combination of output functions into their truth table. They can also obtained the simplified equation by doing K-map SOP minimization or K-map POS minimization. The groups obtained are shown during the process of K-map minimization
