Abstract :
Because of the complication and abstract of computer hardware, it is a challenge to teach students such courses, especially the principles and organization of computers. This article aims at solving the problem through Blended Learning: introducing the basic conception and illustrating it at classroom, then practicing the typical content in virtual lab we designed, finally going to the lab to do physical experimentation. Besides these, we offer a tutor in web-site to provide questions & answers, the introduction of the content, the keystone of the content, and the difficulty of the content, along with the method to study it. It achieves better effect in practice.
