Development of a World-Wide-Web/Multimedia-Base for an Undergraduate Circuit Theory Course

Abstract

In this paper a report is given on the results of an experimental project for using the World Wide Web in connection with the teaching of an undergraduate University-level course. Descriptions and examples of the various techniques which were implementedare included. The use of Web-based software, as well as software developedspeci#cally for the course but distributed through the Web is discussed.
