Abstract

Nowadays, we have more processing power in our hands than ever. The technology advance provides new teaching methodologies that can be useful. Professors of courses like Digital Circuits have major challenges to motivate students that are often disinterested or do not fully understand concepts of basic courses. By combining technology with interesting ideas, the LogicFlow tool aims to engage and to change the act of learning Digital Circuits concepts. With an intuitive and simple user interface focused on mobile devices, it allows the use of logic gates, terminals and connections to build and to simulate digital designs. Besides, due to anelaborated data structure, it allows the design of hierarchical circuits

Keywords: Digital Circuits, Teaching and Learning Tool, LogicFlow
