This document discusses using cloud-based circuit simulation software to complement hands-on electronics labs. It notes that electronics labs are expensive to scale up and that circuit wiring takes a long time. The DoCircuits virtual lab allows students 24/7 access to circuit design and simulation from any location. Studies found that simulation helped students better understand circuit concepts and devices when used for homework, pre-lab, and post-lab as well as in-class teaching. Students liked being able to experiment independently and verify solutions. The cloud-based access positively impacted learning outcomes.

1. Using Cloud Based Simulation for
Learning Electronics

3. ELECTRONICS LABS ARE EXPENSIVE TO SCALE
ONLY 2 HOURS
WORK IN GROUPS ONLY DURING
DAY

4. WIRING A CIRCUIT IN LAB TAKES LONG
STUDENT AFRAID TO EXPLORE
COMPONENTS FAIL, TAKES TIME TO DEBUG

5. ELECTRONICS VIRTUAL LABS
@DOCIRCUITS.COM
COMPLIMEMT WITH VIRTUAL ELECTRONICS
LAB ON CLOUD
CLOUD IS THE NEW
TECHNOLOGY !
FOR 24 X 7 AFFORDABLE ACCESS : REAL LABS
MUST BE COMPLIMENTED WITH VIRTUAL LABS

6. COMPLIMENT AND NOT REPLACE

8. HOW TO USE THEM
• FOR HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS
– makes homework more like lab experience
• FOR PRE LAB
– Lab can then be done faster
• FOR POST LAB
– Not all experiments can be carried out in the lab
due to time/component restrictions
• FOR TEACHING
– Saves time for teacher, no need to draw and
increases student understanding in class

9. HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM
OTHERS LIKE PSPICE, MULTISIM ?

10. WE ARE THE ONLY AND MOST USED
CIRCUIT SIMULATION TOOL ON THE CLOUD

11. THIS MEANS…
STUDENTS CAN SAVE THEIR CIRCUITS ON THE CLOUD RIGHT
FROM THE FIRST YEAR AND RETRIEVE AND REFER THE CIRCUITS
WHENEVER THEY WANT. CREATE A DIGITAL PORTFOLIO.

12. LICENSE TO EACH AND EVERY STUDENT AND FACULTY
CAMPUS
LAB
HOME
HOSTEL
STUDENTS ARE NOT LIMITED TO ACCESSING THE TOOL FROM
THEIR LAB. THEY CAN ACCESS IT USING THEIR LOGIN/PASSWORD
FROM HOME, HOSTEL, CAMPUS AND LAB, 24 X 7.

13. ONLINE AND OFFLINE ACCESS
EVERY STUDENT GETS AN OFFLINE ACCESS AND ONLINE ACCESS.
THEY CAN INSTALL OFFLINE IN ANY 1 COMPUTER OF THEIR
CHOICE. SEAMLESSLY WORK BETWEEN OFFLINE AND ONLINE.

14. WE ARE THE ONLY SIMULATOR WHICH
OFFERS CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS
CUSTOMIZED CIRCUITS AS PER CURRICULUM COVERING LAB
EXPERIMENTS AND ADDITIONAL EXPERIMENTS IN CLOSE
CONSULTATION WITH FACULTY.

15. STATE OF THE ART
VIRTUAL DEVICES
WE PARTNER WITH COMPANIES LIKE TEKTRONIX TO BRING IN
THEIR LATEST DEVICES – SCOPES, AWG, DMM, SUPPLY IN
SIMULATION. STUDENTS GET MORE COMFORTABLE WITH USING
SUCH DEVICES IN REAL LIFE.

16. SHARING CIRCUITS ONLINE
SHARE CIRCUITS AND ITS RESULTS ONLINE WITH TEACHER AND
OTHER STUDENTS USING A “SINGLE URL”.

17. VERY EASY TO USE !
EASY TO USE CONTROLS, INTELLIGENT WORKFLOW
INTEGRATION, SINGLE BUTTON RUN FUNCTIONALITY, ETC
MAKES DOCIRCUITS THE EASIEST TOOL TO USE COMPARED TO
ANY OTHER TOOLS.

28. Confirmations
• Simulation on the cloud was most effective at
helping students to better understand how circuit
devices work
• In-class use of simulation helped them to better
understand concepts as they are presented.
• Liked being able to use the simulator to verify
their homework solutions and to experiment with
“what-if” situations on their own
• Cloud – anywhere and anytime access impacted
outcomes very positively
