PROJECT DILDIS

The project "DILDIS - Distance Learning on Digital Systems" is a co-work of researchers and students of Tallinn University of Technology and Technical University of Ilmenau. It combines Tallinn University of Technology experience in the field of testing and diagnostics of digital microelectronics and the creation of training systems, and also Technical University of Ilmenau experience in the creation of interactive, communication-oriented learning modules in the area of digital systems, that were realized in the project "SANE" / 1/, / 2/.

The main goal of the "DILDIS" project is to create a web-based tutorial for the consolidation of course topics and for preparation for examinations and practical training. As a result of this project learning modules will be developed. These modules will be available over the Internet in several languages. The web pages contain a theoretical, a hyperlinked text part and an interactive, action based part for practical experiments in the form of Java Applets. The applets can be used also as independent modules.

General benefits of web-based training are:

• Students can learn at their individual pace, independent of location and daytime, motivated by the human curiosity and the natural fondness for experiments
• Independence of hardware and operating system, can be accessed with most of the common internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Netscape)
• Practical exercises can use computer animations and multimedia features
