Interactive multimedia teaching of digital signal processors

This article shows a novel approach to Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) teaching based on an interactive multimedia educational tool, designed with Shockwave™ and Macromedia Director™. The use and utility of the tool has been analyzed, and the benefits of this novel teaching methodology have been pointed out. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
