BLENDED LEARNING METHODS FOR TEACHING „DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY AND TECHNICAL DRAWING”
Abstract
The paper provides an alternative to the traditional teaching method of a fundamental discipline which is “Descriptive Geometry and Technical Drawing”. Even though it brings no modification to the structural content, the teaching method was also adapted to online teaching with several adjustments taking advantage of the existence of open educational resources (OER), 3 D modelling software and using mixed teaching methods such as project based-learning and cooperative learning. It was concluded that by combining online educational materials with traditional place-based classrooms methods (blended learning) students gain autonomy and flexibility over their learning making the teaching process more efficient and accessible.
