Abstract

A first course in digital signal processing is being taught with an electronic book in a computer classroom. The electronic book is a set of Mathcad documents bound with hyperlinks and with navigation, full text search, annotation, and special pasting facilities. The documents consist of interactive text, graphics, and mathematics regions. The computer classroom consists of 20 student personal computer (PC) workstations and an instructor´s podium with PC workstation, lighting, and projection (computer screen, overhead, and video) controls. The electronic book, the computer classroom, experience with student-selected content and pacing, portfolio and project evaluation, and other instructional methods are discussed
