A Blended Learning Approach for an Electronic Instrumentation Course

Abstract

This paper presents a blended learning approach to teaching an Electronic Instrumentation course for a degree in Telecommunications Engineering at the University of Málaga, Spain. This work describes the combination of virtual training, implemented in a Moodle platform, and classical attendance training. One of the key aspects of this blended approach is the inclusion of new pedagogical materials. Methodological strategies and innovations have been applied in teaching practice on a real Electronic Instrumentation course during the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 academic years. The course has also been evaluated through the students' opinions. Results derived from this evaluation have been successful and promising in improving the learning experience, with a high level of acceptance and satisfaction with the course organisation and evolution.
