INNOVATIONS IN HIGHER EDUCATION IN ELECTRONICS THROUGH DEVELOPMENT OF A SIMULATION-BASED, PROJECT DRIVEN LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

This paper describes innovations in Bulgarian higher engineering education - distance learning, virtual technologies and multimedia in electronics as outcomes of a three years international project. In compliance with the project objectives a new unit - an Innovative Center for Open & Distance Learning and Multimedia - was established at the Faculty of Electronics. A hybrid model, which combined face-to-face instruction with the approaches of distance learning and multimedia methods, was designed to integrate modern learning methods and technologies into traditional university teaching.
