Abstract:
This short communication outlines a series of comments about the experience on the development of Teaching Innovation Projects in the subject of Engineering Graphics, core subject in most of the new bachelor degree of Engineering in the Higher Education Area (HEA).
Discusses the advantages and disadvantages, opportunities and proposals for improving implementation of virtual platforms in the teaching-learning process. Recent experience in the short path to adapt to that subject area, have shown it can surely be an interesting tool if the result of it, is an easy to use, either by format or by elected the interactivity of it.
Usually Teaching Innovation Projects are offered in public calls for the same universities, with little budget, but with a spirit of learning. Hence, it is particularly interesting, even for the accreditation of university teachers to participate in such calls, and also get a small tool or application that facilitates the learning process of a material with an inherently difficult because the developed design space and abstract reasoning.Keywords:
