Work In Progress: Collaborative Signals and Systems Laboratories at ASU, UWB, UCF, UTD, and URI

This WIP paper reports the status of a collaborative project involving five universities, namely, Arizona State University (ASU), the University of Washington, Bothell (UWB), the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), the University of Rhode Island (URI), and the University of Central Florida (UCF). The proposed project involves several educational technology innovations that involve software development, design of online signal and systems laboratories, assessment of laboratory practices, and joint dissemination of results. The program also includes a comprehensive pilot test of a new multi-site laboratory concept that allows students in remote sites to form and run concurrently real-time collaborative on-line simulations using the distance learning software and connectivity infrastructure developed as part of this program. The paper will describe the status of these activities and will focus especially on the collaborative laboratory
