Abstract

Teaching technical basics in computer science typically requires explaining complex interdependence and dynamic processes. Design methods as well as methods to verify the design have to be taught in a way that students can understand the algorithms behind and use them during a design process. We discuss a set of learning modules, developed during the last four years, which can be used as tools during the design process of digital circuits. In that way we realize a form of "learning by doing" via the Internet.
