A BLENDED LEARNING SUSTAINABLE APPROACH BY MEANS OF DIDACTIC VIDEOS: THE INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY PARADIGM APPLIED TO THE HIGHER EDUCATION AREA

This paper deals with the innovative educative experience carried out within the framework of the Higher European Education Space (HEES), in which a blended learning methodology, based on the mixture of a conventional face-to-face in-classroom approach together with some tools derived from the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has been employed in order to foster the active participation and implication of the students within their own educative process. More specifically a lot of audio-visual material has been elaborated "ad hoc" and offered to the students by means of the Internet platform in order to easy and improve their hands-on laboratory experience. The experience has been carried out with pre-graduated students of the “Sistemas de Telecomunicación” degree in the E.U.I.T Telecomunicación – Technical University of Madrid.
