Information theory is the science which deals with the concept `information', its measurement and its applications. In common practice information is used in terms of a Communication Model in which the emphasis lies on the transport of information, as generated by a source, to a destination. The communication system should transmit the information generated by the source to the destination as fast and accurately as possible. To achieve this goal several coding techniques were developed based on mathematical concepts. Due to this mathematical nature, information theory course is used to be taught by a traditional lecture-driven style. Studies showed that lecture-driven style is not effective with computer engineering students due to their active learning preferences. In this paper we introduce an interactive communication model simulator to facilitate teaching and learning of the basic concepts of information theory course. We also show the effectiveness of using the simulator in classroom.
