Virtual ProfessorThis edition of Engineering Circuit Analysis introduces a new multi-media
supplement, Virtual Professor. Educators are slowly beginning to understand how different people learn in different fashions. For example, some students tend to be more visually-oriented, while others more audio-oriented. Others prefer to obtain the majority of their information directly from the written word. Accounting for variations in learning preferences, however, can be a daunting task in writing a textbook. The introductory set of eleven Virtual Professor modules has been developed as one means of combining the best of all worlds. Each module contains a narrated, animated mini-lecture on a particular introductory circuit analysis topic, along with one or more worked examples. The media player allows the module to be paused to allow notes to be taken, as well as to allow the student to attempt to finish an example before the solution is given. It also allows the user to replay a particular portion of any module as often as desired. The eleven modules and the corresponding sections in the textbook are:
| Current,
Voltage, and Power | Section 2.3
| | Kirchhoff’s Current Law
