Experiments with interactive tutorial software for DSP and related mathematics

Abstract

Tutorial software has been developed to help increase the effectiveness of learning and the communication of course material for undergraduate courses in signal processing, communications, linear systems, and logic design. This software was designed to be a portable resource for both instructors and students which focuses on relationships of concepts that may span multiple courses. This paper describes design objectives, the development effort, student use of the software, and the implications for future development.
