Paper Abstract:
|
It is very important for people of IT-based engineering fields to understand practically how a computer works. A visual computer simulator has been developed, therefore, as a Web-based educational tool from a lecture on Computer System to an exercise for Assembly Programming. The simulator written in Java programming language can run not only as a Java applet on a Web browser but also as a stand-alone Java application on a user's PC. It can give users a graphical view of internal structure and behavior of computer. The simulator provides other facilities to realize collaborative learning by means of the following ways. It has two functions of communication support, namely, to send and receive messages between users of our simulators. One of these functions is an SMTP-based mail sender and other is a POP3-based mail receiver. With our simulator, a user can get register-transfer-level views of computer, execute assembly programs in the two kinds of simulation mode and communicate with each other directly to exchange some kind of information about Computer Literacy, Computer Architecture, Assembly Programming and so on. |
