Ten years of activity on Computer-Aided Learning for electronics: needs, experiences, fields evaluation

The paper presents a synthesis of our work on computer-aided learning in digital electronics, based on an exploratory learning environment and supported by a wide collection of computer-based pedagogical tools. In the last decade different implementations of this common environment were made. They are classified here in terms of pedagogical actions and skills to transmit versus the supporting technologies of courseware development and delivery media. Details are provided on the CD-ROM storage, Internet delivery and the use of streaming technology. A preliminary evaluation on the effectiveness and acceptance of the courses is provided
