Abstract:
Education is changing deeper than at any other time with the constant improvement of information and communication technologies. Particularly, the last five years have brought a fast inclusion of mobile technologies in education at all educational levels. This work presents a modern vision for a numerical methods course for engineers integrating mobile applications into a blended learning strategy. It currently combines class, Web and mobile activities to reinforce and to develop the basic knowledge proposed in the curricula. A five years follow-up is developed to evaluate its performance. Outcomes suggest moving the design into pure online learning to introduce new improvements in the course goals. The improvements are realized by the inclusion of a research-based learning component. The proposed approach could become a differentiated and flexible scheme of instruction powered by mobile applications, but introducing a new version based on project-oriented learning.
