Here you will find the software systems and apps developed by the Digital Technology department in the context of teaching.
This iPad app for lecturers enables the presentation of PDF slide sets as part of a lecture. Special features are offered for this purpose, such as a virtual laser pointer, annotation options and a cover paper.
In addition, interaction with the lecture participants can be established in conjunction with a server and client apps (currently under iOS, Android is in preparation). Features include ad-hoc questions, prepared multiple-choice questions, the "red button" and written question submissions. More are in preparation.
To support learning, the questions can be used to send references to available learning materials, which can be collected at the client aps and used in the learning process (currently only iPad). Web links (also to the university library), book references, references to lecture slides etc. are available.
Interested professors and lecturers please contact the FG Digitaltechnik: We will install this app directly on your device.
This client app enables students to participate interactively in lectures presented with the TiApp. The basic functions are the synchronous display of the lecture slides as well as the option to scroll through them and enter your own notes on the slides.
The app offers the "red button" as an interaction option, the entry and sending of written questions (with the option of "ticking off" later), participation in ad hoc questions from the lecturer and in multiple-choice question rounds. More are in preparation.
The iPad app also offers the option of collecting and making available learning-supporting information on incorrectly answered multiple-choice questions. The iPhone app will also have this option at a later date.
Available as a free app for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch (in the App Store: SiApp), an Android version with the same functions is currently being developed.
Learning effort recording
The app for recording learning effort enables students to record the hours spent on their studies per course completely anonymously and without a UniKassel account. This means that the hours for the various segments of lectures, tutorials, tutorials and exam preparation can be recorded independently of each other.
After completing a course, students can enter their final grade. Subsequent semesters are thus able to see the learning effort compared to the final grade.
In addition, students can compare themselves with each other during the current semester in terms of the hours studied per course.
The app for recording learning effort (iOS and Android) is currently in the development phase, but is due to leave this stage in the 2015/2016 winter semester and enter the test phase. The test phase will probably take place at Faculty 16, but interested professors and lecturers are welcome to contact the FG Digital Technology.
This iPad app enables the input and simulation of finite state machines (FSM). The aim is to make the description and functionality of state machines from the Digital Logic lecture accessible interactively.
A state transition graph can be entered via a touch interface. In addition to the states, this includes the state transitions and their respective output and transition conditions. Based on the input of these condition bits, the automaton can then be simulated step by step and its functionality observed.
Available as a free app for iPad (in the App Store: LerneFSMs). A version with the same functions for Android tablets is currently being developed.
Since the winter semester 2010/2011, all students in the Digital Logic course have been building a circuit board called the Configurable Logic Board (CLB), which can be used to implement various digital technology circuits via plug-in panels.
The CLB can be cascaded via connectors at the edges of the board to realize more complex circuits. With the help of our HiWi Marcel Viehmeier, a simulator was created with which several interconnected CLBs - but of course also individual CLBs - can be conveniently simulated. The simulator is written in Java and can therefore be run under (almost) any operating system in the Java runtime environment (from version 1.6).
The lecture website for the CLB simulator can be found here: http: //www.uni-kassel.de/eecs/digitech/lehre/digitale-logik/clb-simulator.html
The Java program VVIDE is used to interactively display Verilog change dump files (.vcd), as they can be generated during the simulation of digital circuits.
The software is open source and currently available for download from github:
In the current version, a simulation can also be carried out together with the freely available tools Icarus-Verilog or GHDL.
