TIME

TIME has been designed with the objective of providing students with an excellent educational tool, not only for the gradual learning of the basic theoretical principles, but also for testing the practical knowledge of the students. TIME, characterized by its versatility and adaptation to the continuous evolution of technology, is able to stimulate the skill and the logic capabilities of the students, through both individual and group applications, providing the teacher with an efficient tool supported by an innovative teaching methodology. The student, in fact, can test, explore, directly experiment and easily assimilate what he is studying.

It is peculiar of this teaching methodology the division in modules reproducing actual circuits relevant to the subject to be studied.

Each module is provided with a Teacher Manual and a Student Manual, strictly interconnected, to allow students a simple and gradual learning and teachers an efficient guide for planning and performing the courses.

The Teacher Manual is divided in Lessons organized as follows: identification of the objectives, verification of the required prerequisites, contents.
The objectives of the course are defined by the teacher, who must verify the learning level of the students and their knowledge in order to establish the educational path to be followed.
The Teacher Manual has been integrated with an appendix where the test questions, asked to the students to check their learning skill, have been included together with the answers to the faults simulated in the circuits and the technical data relevant to the components used in the board.
The Student Manual is divided in Units providing: identification of the objectives, verification of the required prerequisites, list of necessary equipment, selection of the educational path to be followed, presentation of the procedures for the preparation and the performance of the experiments, tests to check if the students are learning, analysis of the results.

Within a given time, the students must study a circuit, understand the relevant theory, analyse the operating conditions and test, by means of suitable instrumentation, the situation at various test points of the circuit.

This training system is composed of a series of educational boards each of them dealing with a particular subject related to the study of Electronics.
The boards can be used together with the DL 3155AL2RM base frame, which provides them with the necessary power supplies, with a virtual instrumentation and with an interface to a Personal Computer, from where a CAI software gives students a modern and attractive tool for effective learning..
As an alternative, the boards can be used with the DL 3155AL2 base frame, which provides them with the necessary power supplies and with the interface to a Personal Computer for the CAI software.
As a further alternative, the boards can be used with the DL 3155AL5 base frame, which provides them the necessary power supply for the performance of the exercises.
