ExamplesMany different laboratories can be designed and developed using this generalmodulation/demodulation platform. The following Matlab script shows the modulation schemeof QPSK. We have included in the script many options of different digital modulations such asBPSK, QPSK, 8PSK, 16QAM, 64QAM etc. Students can change the desired digital modulationby simply uncommenting the few lines of Matlab code in the provided script. Figure 6. Matlab Script to Change Modulation ConstellationFigure 7 (a) and (b) show the transmitted QPSK constellation and received QPSK constellationfrom the SDR based general modulation/demodulation platform.

. For example, in the mechanical engineering field, 7,089 undergraduate students are enrolled as part-time basis in 20081. The number increased to 10,096 in 20121. The development of asynchronous courses is to help those students who are restricted by work requirements, geographical distance, disabilities, and combination of these factors. In the authors’ program, 148 out of 327 total enrollments in the academic year of 2014 are part-time students. b. Because the unprecedented changes occurring on the web, a significant number of students are in the DL education. For example, in year 2012, 12.5% of the total students in the whole nation were enrolled exclusively in DL courses, and approximately 26% were
