Multimedia and Cooperative learning in signal Processing techniques in communications

The letter describes how multimedia technology and cooperative learning were used to teach an online course, Signal Processing techniques in Communication Systems (SP/CS). Students study online presentations enhanced by multimedia animations and perception quizzes, discuss problems using an asynchronous conferencing system, and complete cooperative laboratory simulations based on MATLAB. A locally designed course management system provides access to the online features of the course. A survey that assesses the benefits of multimedia and cooperative support materials is also included.
