A blended-learning concept for basic lectures in electrical engineering: A practical report

Abstract

In this paper we present the blended-learning concept of a basic course attended by about 1000 students of various courses of study each semester. The traditionally organized course with lecture and exercise is afflicted by different time tables and knowledge background of the students, as well as being a subject with high degree of abstraction. Adding lecture and exercise recordings, interactive animations, videos, tests and a quiz as mandatory and voluntary teaching material allows an autonomous learning process at individual speed. Evaluation results and access statics show a very good acceptance of the new elements, especially lecture recordings and weekly online-tests.
