Using information and Communication Technology tools to enhance traditional electrical Engineering Education

Abstract

This work presents a scenario of international activities and results in Information and Communication Technology, and how they can be applied to support traditional face-to-face education. Some activities and results are in an area that can be complementary to technology assisted learning - digital libraries and digital publishing. It also addresses activities in the Electrical Engineering Department of PUC-Rio, both in the undergraduate and the graduate levels, showing the use of these complementary tools in education. Finally, it mentions the challenges faced by the team that is leading the activities and addresses plans for the near future.
