Design of an interactive platform for computer engineering education

An interactive software platform, developed at Tikrit University to provide students with a useful training tool for understanding microprocessor arithmetic operations, is presented. The platform design concept is based on the TechCode step-by-step program for problem solving, aimed at testing the understanding of key components presented in the known MUSAID Module. The platform, which was developed under the framework of the eLearning project, is intended to complement rather than replace traditional computer architecture tutorial courses. Its main objective is to design a graphical user interface that provides the end user with maximum control over the presenting process while expecting minimal effort from the presenter programmer: Students feedback has shown promising and encouraging results.
