Portable Blended MOOC Laboratory

Abstract:

Two types of teaching coexist today: Traditional face-To-face methods and teaching based on self-learning where the student has ubiquitous access to course contents. This paper shows how tests have been made of a type of learning that is becoming more common in educational environments. This hybrid teaching method combines the Massively Open Online Course (MOOC) and students' face-To-face work. On the one hand, the advantages of face-To-face learning are taken advantage of: Teacher in the classroom, social bonds and daily work sessions. On the other hand, the advantages of distance learning are integrated: flexibility, accessible material and wide variety. Also included in the paper is a description of the equipment and the way in which it has been used with students. Finally, the paper details the educational experience carried out with students and the outcomes obtained. These pilot tests are framed within the education of STEM topics and robotics.
