Abstract :
This paper describes our goal of 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. Improvement in understanding will be measured through carefully aligned course assignments and examination questions. We expect that students will demonstrate higher levels of competency in the course outcomes, such as being able to analyze basic circuits using appropriate laws and concepts, and an improved ability to select the appropriate solution technique.
