Abstract

The goal of this project is to enhance the use of class time in a required, junior-level course in signals and systems that has an annual enrollment of approximately 300 students. Our approach has been the creation of a web-based roadmap of videostreams that interactively address a variety of course concepts. More than 100 focused (10-15 minute) video lectures/exercises have been developed and made available on a local website. Students use the videos as a means of supplementing the lecture material with additional illustrative examples. This paper reports on the experiences and the outcomes with this system over the past two years.
