Abstract :
Digital Signal Processors is an optional course in the Audiovisual Engineering Degree of the University of Alicante. This year a pilot project on developing a blog for the course has been introduced (http://blogs.ua.es/pds0910). This way, students must complete - working collaboratively- a set of assigned blog entries on different extension tasks related to the concepts taught in the theory sessions. The blog entries have been always supervised by the teaching staff, who act as system administrators, as well. Students had a very positive attitude towards this learning tool, allowing us to develop new strategies for the upcoming semesters.
