Abstract :
This paper describes our continued work in creating a set of narrated dynamically worked-out problems for the Electric Circuits students using a Tablet PC. The examples are intended to improve problem-solving skills by enhancing understanding of the key concepts and the way that they should be utilized in solving circuits´ problems. A detailed explanation of how these worked out problems are put together is provided. The preliminary evaluations of the proposed approach by a group of students and faculty have been very encouraging.
