Abstract

This thesis presents an interactive computerised teaching suite developed for the design of combinatorial and sequential logic circuits. This suite fills a perceived gap in the currently available computer-based teaching software for digital logic design. Several existing digital logic educational software are available, however these existing programs were found to be unsuitable for our use in providing alternative mode subject delivery. This prompted the development of a Microsoft Windows TM tutorial suite, called WinLogiLab. WinLogiLab comprises of a set of tutorials that uses student provided input data, to perform the initial design steps for digital Combinatorial and Sequential logic circuits. The combinatorial tutorials are designed to show the link between Boolean Algebra and Digital Logic circuits, and follows the initial design steps: from Boolean algebra, truth tables, to Exact and the Heuristic minimisation techniques, to finally produce the combinatorial circuit. Similarly, the sequential tutorials can design simple State Machine Counters, and can model more complex Finite State Automata.
