One way to get high-quality content into Connexions

Principal Investigator, Prof. C. Sidney Burrus, spearheaded a major effort to publish high-quality education materials in Connexions. His National Science Foundation Innovation Partnership grant supported a collaboration between Rice University and National Instruments to extend the frontiers of higher education, especially in the area of digital signal processing. The grant funded the publication of 22 textbooks and courses by preeminent scholars, highlighted in the NSF Partnership in Signal Processing Lens.

The content came from distinguished faculty across the US that were eager to share their experience in research and teaching. The grant funded training and publicity and content support for editing and formatting them for Connexions. To date, these materials have been used by over 7 million people, averaging 50,000 views per week.
