Multimedia textbook paradigm a demonstration in solid-state device electronics

Abstract

A multimedia textbook on solid-state device electronics is being developed. It is based on the understanding that the traditional print medium is limited and inefficient in imparting knowledge, in view of the dynamism and complex interactions possible with multimedia technology. In this paper we discuss the motivation for this effort and the design philosophy in creating this multimedia textbook. A demonstration vehicle is presented in the form of an interactive courseware for solid state device electronics developed on the PC platform.<>
