Using In-Class Teamwork Learning Modules in Digital Systems to Improve Conceptual Understanding

The pedagogy associated with using in-class Teamwork Learning Modules (TLMs) has been used to improve understanding of key concepts in Digital Systems. TLMs can be incorporated into current Digital Systems courses with minimal changes to existing curriculum. The process is based on students working with each other to solve digital systems problems while providing rapid feedback from the instructor needed to strengthen proper understanding. Results from the past 5 years will be presented to give a better understanding of how to appropriately use TLMs in Digital Systems and other similar courses.
