Paper Abstract:
|
This paper proposes a novel e-Learning system for technical experiments involving electronic circuit making and sound signal processing of an electric guitar (Fender Stratocaster). To support circuit design and production, each student uses a portable computer during the experiments, and can learn circuit design, virtual circuit making, and real circuit making. In the proposed system, an analysis system that runs over the internet performs circuit recognition tasks and translation into SPICE. This enables the determination of circuit behavior and any incorrect parts in the circuit that is designed and constructed by the experimenter. The analysis system also provides simulated sounds of an electric guitar which is synthesized based on the circuit made by the experimenter. Therefore, individual students can learn both practical circuit making and behaviors of sound processing circuits. The proposed system is applicable to various circuit types and learning environments such as computer-aided circuit design and the manufacture of both virtual and real circuits. The usefulness and effectiveness of the proposed system was evaluated by analyzing circuits made by five university students in an actual class. |
