Topic:  *The Little Man Computer*

No registration is required, just log in using the link above, settle down
and enjoy!  (NB.  It helps to get in early to sort out any hardware/software
issues with the session ... we're still learning here :))

*The Little Man Computer is a free online simulation of a low level /
machine code programming environment.*

*What does this mean? It means that students can explore exactly what
happens inside a computer when it processes instructions. It can be used to
help students learn about the stored program concept, the fetch-execute
cycle, basic programming constructs and interpreters as well as low level
programming using machine code and mnemonics.*

*Already an incredibly useful resource for A Level Computing, the LMC is now
included specifically in the OCR GCSE Computing course as a board set
assignment for unit A452 (Practical Investigation Controlled Assessment).
