Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Education which was an experimental team effort to try and address some of the difficulties in applying information technologies to the creation, review, dissemination, and archiving of multimedia-rich contributions in engineering and science education. The solicitation and review were done electronically using the World Wide Web (WWW) and a restricted access server. The dissemination of the contributions used WWW/CD-ROM technology as a practical means for the IEEE Education Society to electronically distribute and archive the multimedia material containing video, audio, graphics, and code
