A blended learning/teaching methodology case study in the context of the EngiMath@UPC+ innovation project

The EngiMath@UPC+ project consists of a proposal to introduce an online training material, the main output of the European ERASMUS+ EngiMath project, as a blended learning methodology in a wide range of Linear Algebra subjects at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya-BarcelonaTECH. It represents a qualitative step forward, which consists of its corresponding formal integration in the teaching methodology of the subjects, in terms of content and assessment, but especially in the impact of the blended teaching/learning binomial, and the corresponding final competency assessment model. Details on the case study implementation during the 2023-2024 second semester, students follow-up methodology, performance of the course, student feedback, pros and cons discussion, main conclusions and recommended actions to be taken into account when using the EngiMath course as a Blended Methodology, will be introduced and discussed along the paper.

The authors are grateful to professor Anna de Mier (UPC) for her involvement in the implementation of the EngiMath course in the Case Study Phase of the project, making interactions easier and clearer, to David Bonet (UPC) for his permanent commitment and high standard academic development when collaborating as a support person in the EngiMath@UPC+ project. Appreciations are extended to Jordi Massó (UPC) and Elena Safiulina (TTK UAS, Tallinn, Estonia) for their availability in the questionnaires debugging. Authors also appreciate the EngiMath partners and UPC students’ cooperation and participation in the project. This research has been partially funded by the Institute of Education Sciences at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya-BarcelonaTECH (UPC) under the framework of the Galaxia Learning Improvement and Innovation Projects 2023 call (grant 3-PMIDGALAXIA).
