Teaching Reform for an 8051 Microcontroller Course Based on E-learning

Abstract

An 8051 microcontroller course is a core professional course in engineering major in many universities. The traditional teaching (face to face teaching) method cannot achieve satisfactory teaching effect. So other teaching method should be applied to improve teaching effect. E-learning is a relatively good online teaching and learning method at home and abroad. In this paper the teaching reform for an 8051 microcontroller course is researched and the idea of the reform is that the E-learning teaching method is combined with the traditional teaching one. Firstly the problems from the traditional teaching method are analyzed; secondly a structure of an E-learning teaching system for an 8051 microcontroller is present. Finally an implementation plan of the E-learning teaching is also proposed. This E-learning teaching method can eliminate some problems from the traditional teaching method to improve teaching effect and quality.
