This paper explores the innovative use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to help create interactive online educational resources for digital system design and computer architecture courses, typically in electrical and computer engineering undergraduate courses. We present a framework that uses LLMs and existing online tools such as Google Colab and Gradio to rapidly develop and deploy interactive simulations, exercises, and automated grading systems to help learners work in the space with minimal need for up-front teacher development or full-end industrial tools associated with them. Our approach shows how to reduce the time and effort required for instructors to create engaging, personalized online learning experiences. We evaluate the effectiveness of this method through a series of case studies and provide guidelines for instructors to leverage these technologies in their courses.
