Abstract :
A remote learning environment created by the author is described. It was conceived in the context of an engineering course on Communication Systems. The environment includes didactical software such as a virtual communications lab based on interactive simulations, didactical games, as well as resources such as on-line instructor support, interactive problems, and content material in HTML format. The remote learning website has been in use since its creation in 2001, and feedback from the student as well as academic performance indicators confirm the effectiveness of the initiative. Such feedback has been employed to improve the website during these 11 years of operation.
