As part of an ongoing action research study, we have appraised our traditional techniques for the teaching of speech and computational hearing and found them to be inadequate in some respects. In particular, they offer little opportunity for students to experiment interactively with concepts in these fields. As a result, students cannot reflect upon their own experiences nor learn from them. In this paper, we discuss a more interactive approach based on software applications which allow the student to explore the parameter space of the phenomena under discussion. Several examples (chosen from a range of more than twenty MATLAB applications) which illustrate the philosophical and pedagogical elements of this ongoing project are discussed.
