Paper Abstract:
|
This paper proposes a novel mobile learning system for technical experiments involving electronic circuit making. To support circuit design and production, each student uses a portable computer (tablet PC) during the course of the experiments. In the proposed system, an analysis system that runs on a wireless network performs circuit recognition for the designed and constructed circuits image, which is transmitted from the users tablet PC. The analysis system can also translate the structure of the circuit into that of a general circuit description language (SPICE). This SPICE translation technique can indicate how the circuit works and can identify incorrect parts that may exist in the circuit. The proposed system is applicable to various circuit types and learning environments such as computer-aided circuit design and learning how to manufacture both virtual and real circuits. Therefore, this system has the advantage of allowing the user to choose a preferred educational support system on the basis of the required purpose or environment. The usefulness and effectiveness of the proposed system was evaluated by analyzing circuits made by 15 university students in an actual class. |
