EAEEIE'02:

Web-based course management and delivery software is becoming common in many areas of education, but the facilities provided by such systems do not support practical laboratory work. In many technical areas this limitation constitutes a serious restriction on the usefulness of any web-based educational frameworks, since “pen-and-paper” courseware is but a small part of the overall pedagogic materials that must be provided to the students. The system described in this paper addresses this need in the area of digital electronics and is being developed in the scope of an IST project called PEARL.
