Stephan Kubisch, R. Rennert, H. Pfueller, Dirk Timmermann · 2006
The Internet is omnipresent. Everyone uses the Internet for information retrieval and communication. It is part and parcel of everyday life and culture. This is also true for all levels of preschool and academic education as well as on-the-job training. Currently, providing learning objects on an electronic and personalized base is widely favored and - in the meantime-common practice. We present LoGen, a browser-based tool for the generation and simulation of digital, logic circuits on the gate-level via Internet. This tool is used as additional learning module for lectures and exercises at the Institute of Applied Microelectronics and Computer Engineering, University of Rostock. The feasibility of standard HTML for suchlike applications is pointed out. For the design of the tool, solely approved and well-established Internet-technologies have been used. It is especially feasible for so-called thin clients. It is shown that the Internet with its broad repertoire of basic functions and services is well suited for this kind of applications
