Interactive multimedia labware for strength of materials laboratory

Abstract

A CD‐ROM–based laboratory manual for the torsion experiment in the Strength of Materials Laboratory was developed through collaboration between Civil Engineering and the Interactive Multimedia Department. The labware is intended to enhance student learning through the development of and exposure to richer learning tools, resources, and advanced technologies. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Interactive multimedia teaching of digital signal processors

“…It can be very cost-effective and increase retention rates dramatically [17]. Multimedia has the potential to create high quality learning environments.…”

“…Multimedia applications represent the best application of modern technology to education and training in all areas. It can be very cost-effective and increase retention rates dramatically [17]. Multimedia has the potential to create high quality learning environments.…”

Interactive dimensional calibration via Internet

“…The computer programs developed with educational purposes in the field of engineering regularly reproduce a physical phenomenon on computers that used to be modeled mathematically 1–5. Development of this type of application presents two well‐differentiated stages: first, it is necessary to determine the mathematical algorithms that are capable of properly defining the physical model, and second, an appropriate interface must be developed that is capable of showing realistic images and facilitating user interaction.…”

Analysis of utility and use of a web-based tool for digital signal processing teaching by means of a technological acceptance model

“…In Abdel-Qader, Bazuin, Mousavinezhad, and Patrick (2003), overall satisfaction and quality of materials are the unique variables taken into account. More elaborated questionnaires considering new dimensions can be found in Chevalier, Craddock, Riley, and Trunk (2000), Avouris, Tselios, and Tatakis (2001) and Hurley and Lee (2005). But in all the cases, the data treatment is reduced to show frequency of user answers.…”
