https://doi.org/10.5753/ijcae.2020.4839Abstract
This paper describes an interactive and student-friendly framework for teaching digital circuits and computer architecture topics. It aims to improve students learning process by providing a visual drag-and-drop circuit design editor, interactive simulation, signal monitoring and testbench tools - all integrated in a widely accessible application that runs in the browser. Circuitly does so in a programmatic way, to help students better understand the Hardware Description Languages they will encounter in the future.
