Abstract:
Within the integration of the Spanish University in the framework of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) it becomes necessary to adapt the old working and practical methods to more current learning techniques that, through the achievement of a set of skills, enable the students to reach the aims of teaching-learning processes designed in a subject. This article aims to describe the teaching experience accomplished in the teaching of the Business Models and Web Strategies subject in the fourth year of Computer Engineering studies in the University of Cantabria. This particular methodology uses, in combination, several methods such as student group distribution methods by common affinity based on Luscher Test´s, collaborative working techniques that includes meeting proceedings and agreement statements, self evaluation according to predefined students' criteria, group and general evaluation, public project presentation and synchronous-asynchronous working techniques based on Wiki web 2.0 services used for general asynchronous communication and knowledge management.
