Abstract

Being the Input/Output subsystem an important topic in the area of Computer Architecture [1], in this work we propose a Project-Based Learning (PBL) methodology enhanced by the use of a Nintendo® DS machine. The use of both, methodology and platform, is endorsed by students' comments, the projects themselves and the scores obtained in the subject.
