1 matrix multimedia Electronic Circuits and Components v2.0 Course material with Virtual Laboratories that stimulate, teach & test. This second version of Electronic Circuits and Components is bigger and better in every respect. We have broadened the content, included more Virtual Laboratories and experiments, and increased the amount of assessment with quizzes, investigations exam questions and fault finding exercises. In short: Browser-based - intranet/internet ready Designed to facilitate distance learning Improved worksheets Multiple choice questions Fault finding virtual laboratories (Institution versions only) More examples More resources More interactivity Highly interactive Virtual Laboratories Part of a complete course in electronics Thorough topic coverage Flexible resource - stand alone, in front of class, class activity on a network, revision/remediation Clear circuit simulations Spoken text caters for students with low reading ability MultiSIM / Electronics Workbench circuits provided Ideal for use with projectors Browser based - intranet ready Thorough assessment - multiple choice, worksheets, fault finding circuits, written exam questions and assignments - see below Supervisors' notes and editable worksheets included on the CD This second version of Mike Tooley's bestselling CD ROM is designed to teach students with basic science and mathematics skills the fundamentals of all aspects of electronics: from what a resistor is through to the design and characterization of simple active circuits. To facilitate this, the CD ROM makes use of a variety of resource types designed to help students learn more effectively. These include: interactive circuit simulations, virtual laboratories, video clips, audio commentary, and animations. Electronic Circuits and Components version 2 also includes The Parts Gallery - a reference resource for components and circuit symbols. Institution versions of this product contain approximately 40 worksheets and several fault finding circuits. Network versions of this product are also available. "At A-level or for the able student this would be an invaluable independent study resource." Mark Hudson, Director of Technology, Thomas Telford CTC writing in Design and Technology Association journal Type of activity Student Institution Site Multiple choice questions yes yes yes Exam grade questions no yes yes s no yes yes Fault Finding no yes yes

This Virtual laboratory allows students to look at various types of waveform (AM, FM, square etc.

This simple animation (with audio) helps students understand the basic principles of magnetism.

2 Screen images Allows students to find their way round the material easily - previous and next buttons and a full text search also make this product easier to use. "This product is moving this subject area in the right way for students to relate to and for that it must be praised." Design and Technology Association journal. This Virtual laboratory allows students to look at various types of waveform (AM, FM, square etc.) as well hear what those waveforms sound like. This simple animation (with audio) helps students understand the basic principles of magnetism. This screen shows a fault finding circuit (Institution versions only). Students first investigate the circuit using virtual meters and an oscilloscope to make sure they understand the circuit operation. Up to 4 pre-designed faults are then inserted and students need to use the virtual instruments to find the faults
