Abstract

A first course in digital signal processing is being taught with an interactive book in a computer classroom. The interactive book is a set of Mathcad documents bound with navigation, full text search, annotation, and special pasting facilities. The documents consist of editable and active text and graphical and mathematical regions. The computer classroom has 20 student PC workstations, 40 seats, an instructor´s podium with PC workstation, and lighting and projection (computer screen, overhead, and video) controls. Discussed are the choices of software, interactive book, computer classroom, teaching methods, student evaluations, and future plans
