Blending digital learning and hands-on labs in a large undergraduate engineering course

Presented by Dr Stefan Felder via Blackboard Collaborate

 

Connections Seminar Series

Scientia Education Experience: Being digital

Improving the learning outcomes and student experiences in large fundamental undergraduate classes is challenging, but of great importance for the understanding of engineering theories and concepts. As part of a SEIF2 project, major changes to the large second year course ENGG2500 “Fluid Mechanics for Engineers” were made. To allow teaching at scale, the practical lab classes were integrated with new blended learning features on the Moodle course page. 
This presentation will provide an overview and a critical assessment of the implementation of blended learning features in hands-on lab classes.

 

This presentation aligns with the following UNSW Communities of Practice 'Online Learning and Innovation'. More information can be found here.
