Abstract
In teaching undergraduate courses in digital logic design, it has been traditional to have hardware laboratories using logic boards or programmable FPGA boards. In these settings, students physically wire sample designs from a problem set, and present the finished product for verification to a lab instructor, together with testing the chips themselves and acquiring the experience of hands-on hardware. Many digital logic design courses have switched to using only software simulators or VHDL-based exercises, often due to lack of resource allocations. We have designed and implemented a multimedia-based virtual lab, which allows the students to practice on their design, explore in a tutorial fashion various options, and gives them as close as possible a real hands-on experience, through the use of a "virtual board" and links to background tutorial material which can be customized.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
