Dear Sursounders, I would like to draw your attention to a new MOOC on the topic of communication acoustics: https://www.edx.org/course/communication-acoustics-rwthx-ca101 The course is a collaboration of several academics based in Germany as well as myself. It is going to start on Dec. 5. There are chapters on (amongst other topics):
- Fundamentals of acoustics - Room acoustics - Anatomy and physiology of the human hearing system - Psychoacoustics - Speech acoustics - A lot on spatial audio capture and presentation - Psychoacoustics in product sound design - Perceptual audio coding The course is in English (please don’t mind our accent…). It is more of an introduction to the topic. I would therefore think that it is not so interesting for most of you but it might be so for your students. The course is actually part of the curriculum at most of the participating universities, and we’re having onsite written exams at 4 locations. This is also the reason why the course is so long (14 weeks). It had to fit into the academic schedule.
