Education & Resources

Following the rapid proliferation of mobile devices, especially smart phones, both server-based and embedded speech and multimodal applications started to emerge.

The Membership Board is delighted to introduce the Seasonal Schools in Signal Processing (S3P) Program in the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS). This program was established in 2010 as an outcome of the SPS Long Range Planning Retreat held during ICIP 2010 in Hong Kong. S3P seasonal schools are typically either Summer schools or Winter schools, and are geared towards providing graduate students, early stage researchers, and practitioners with background on selected topics in signal processing.

IEEE recently released a beta version of the IEEE Technology Navigator (TechNav) that provides an integrated way to locate IEEE technical resources.

Users can select a technical concept or “tag,” and TechNav displays IEEE content and events (e.g., conferences, publications, standards, published articles). “Tags” are mapped to IEEE Societies and industry sectors, permitting navigation from two different spaces.

The website that houses IEEE's collection of online courses has been completely overhauled.

The former IEEE Expert Now has become the IEEE eLearning Library, and it uses new software for delivering tutorials. The site includes more than 200 courses and webinars from universities, training organizations, and IEEE units. Also there is now a section for IEEE content in iTunes, in the area where universities and nonprofits can post their content for users to download for free.  The library contains short, online courses in core and emerging technologies.
