E-learning System with a Real System and Graphical Simulator for Embedded System

This paper describes an e-learning system with a real system and simulator for studying embedded system. Proposed e-learning system provides learners with three items for studying embedded system. First one is on-line textbook. Second one is a graphical simulator, and third one is a real system. The simulator consists of microprocessor and its peripheral circuit. The real system consists of same composition as a simulator and is connected to the internet, namely it is a remote experimental embedded system. The simulator is used for the verifying the programming and for understanding the theory of embedded system operation, namely it is used for exercise The real system is used for the experiment to check the real reaction of the system, namely it is used for experiment. Therefore the leaner can study embedded system regardless of location and time. Moreover they can learn even if they do not have a real system. Thus they do not have to prepare any equipment needed for developing embedded system.
