“…As to participation, most students agree that the tool fosters their active participation in the subject (Gámiz et al, 2014). This opinion is registered in the questionnaire items and their responses to the open question, in which they mention the importance of tools such as forums to express their opinions and concerns.…”

“…A statistic provided by the Moodle platform was chosen to measure student activity and participation in the virtual environment: number of activities that the student performed on the platform (reading texts, forum messages, activities, etc.). Other studies have used this general statistic to measure students' overall participation (Gámiz et al, 2014).…”

This study explores the impact of electronic portfolios on undergraduate learning in higher education. Based on a descriptive study, it analyses the prospective teacher's perception of use of these tools (electronic portfolio in Moodle-Mahara, in the institutional environment of a university in southern Europe), examining the variables participation, autonomous learning, and motivation. The results show no increase in motivation, but they do show an increase in autonomy, especially a progressive increase in the student's online participation in a blended learning context. The results show a positive correlation between the variables participation and university student's performance. Research into the uses and impact of electronic portfolios on undergraduates has implications for improving educational practice by fostering increased participation and autonomous learning.

“…With the implementation of the Bologna Process, teaching approaches have changed significantly and now focus more explicitly on student performance. Consequently, lecturers have looked for new methodologies and learning tools that strengthen the role of students, enabling them to take control of their own learning processes (Gámiz Sánchez et al 2014). The new methodologies are geared towards fostering student participation to promote an autonomous learning process in a student-centred environment (Kramarski & Michalsky 2009;De Miguel, 2006).…”

An innovative blended-learning strategy is presented for the subject Laboratory of Elasticity and Strength of Materials, based on the use of different tools combining face-to-face methods with e-learning technologies to improve learning outcomes in Mechanical Engineering. The enhanced teaching environment includes upgraded teaching material, new self-assessment methods, and video clips providing detailed instructions for each practical session. Our challenge was to improve the learning method by changing from a model that simply presents the practical sessions to a model that actively involves students in the learning process. The results of an anonymous student satisfaction survey show that these improvements have been very well received; students consider that the new techniques are very useful both for better understanding the subject and for preparing for the oral exam. Rates of success demonstrate that the improvements have had a direct and significant impact on performance, as well as reducing the dropout rate. As an overall conclusion, we can state that all the new techniques are effective tools for improving learning outcomes in the Degree in Mechanical Engineering.

E-learning is a way of teaching that presently makes greater sense in the process of democratization of education. This articles describes a meta-analysis performed on Spanish journals found in Social Sciences and Law areas (N = 118) indexed in JCR and SCOPUS and awarded with the FECYT seal, that have published articles on this topic in the last 5 years (2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015). The total number of articles analyzed was 108. The main results show that these have focused on studies on academic efficiency, learning, teaching and cognitive styles, and interaction and communication. The main conclusion reached was the need for a study on the reasoning behind why elements such assessments are not treated in these articles.
