An Interactive Multimedia Tutoring System For Digital Signal Processing

Our system is organized as a Mathematica notebook with external support from NeXT's Sound and Music Kits through Objective-C code. The environment employed is standard, making our system portable to any NeXT machine. This environment, while providing many programming conveniences, has presented some interesting implementation challenges. With the DISIPLE system we have illustrated some possibilities for developing interactive multimedia systems on the NeXT machine, and for teaching topics in audio technology using interactive multimedia. The experience gained in its development will be useful in developing related systems.
