News Highlights from the SPED-TC
There are a number of things we want readers to know about the Signal Processing Education (SPED) Technical Committee activities this year.
Online Tutorials Get Makeover
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.

Leveraging Financial Strength to Serve Members and Invest for the Future
The IEEE Signal Processing Society has enjoyed healthy financial operations for a number of years, thanks to the tremendous amount of effort from volunteers and the support from the staff. In order to leverage its financial strength to serve members and invest for the future prosperity of the signal processing community, the SPS Board of Governors has set aside a sizable amount of funds for 2011 and is working on the 2012 budget to explore various initiatives to expand member benefits and values, to outreach to signal processing communities worldwide, and to enhance the visibility of the SPS. For example, the Society has approved to allocate a substantial annual fund to support students and researchers in needs from developing countries to attend ICASSP and ICIP. Fifty-one SPS members who are ICASSP 2011 authors have been selected as the first group of travel grantees.
