An Interactive Mobile Hub for Teaching Electromagnetics Courses [Education Corner]

This article presents the design, development, and deployment of an interactive online teaching and learning platform to improve the students' understanding, through different visualization tools, of core concepts delivered in electromagnetics (EM) courses. The main advantage of such tools is that they require no download time, memory space, or heavy equipment. The platform (or hub) benefits from advances in mobile technology and Internet connectivity to overcome the limitations of past pedagogical approaches. Students can use these tools anytime, from anywhere, and on any portable device.
