This course is Digital Electronics, offered by the Department of Electronics Engineering Technology.
The textbook for this course is Floyd's Digital Fundamentals (11th Edition at the moment).
Try my1digitaljs - a Basic Digital Electronics Simulator (notice, NOT logic simulator :p) that I have developed for PGT104. Based on SimCirJS, the source is available here. Some video guides are available on Youtube

A more practical implementation of Digital Electronic Courses:
Note: If Digital 1 is seen as too light, the combinational logic circuits topic from 2 can be shifted into 1… then, some basic Computer Architecture stuffs can be put into 2.
Maybe something like this…
