Electronics

This section covers the electronics resources supported by Intellecta. These materials address different level of student learning in primary, secondary and tertiary education.

The most popular materials are based on the PICAXE materials that provide an excellent foundation in programming, planning and thinking skills.

The Control board project is a special student project board where the student may design a controller board or a peripheral such as a sensor, colour light sensor, relay driver.

Small projects mean that student success is guaranteed with excellent learning outcomes.

Education Management in Electronics

A major issue is the management of various resources in this very important subject area.

Resources includes

• basic teacher training,
• teacher support with products,
• teacher updates
• advanced teacher training
• student projects

Intellecta, with its major partnerships with Roland, Techsoft UK and Revolution Education has created a management plan based on encouraging electronics as part of the Design and Technology focus. This means that student projects are part of a larger design area and can be linked with the 5IT model.

The learning model encourages student hands-on activities with CAD/CAM, circuit design, circuit manufacture.

Electronics learning is based on a set of examples that develop programming, planniing skills in many areas. The Intellecta icons starts students thinking, the programming of tutorial boards expands this to BASIC language programming and the self design processes encourage specific student solutions. The motherboard is a central device that students add their own expansion or specific components.
