Abstract :
The analysis of the promoted innovative setups and practices of educational systems revealed the necessity to develop an active learning approach. On-lecture assessment methods developed in the active learning context and introduced into Electronics, Power Electronics, and Electrical Drives promote ultimately students´ progress increasing the quality of learning. To motivate students, specific self-assessment modules were prepared in the scope of the institutional learning content management system. They encourage the students to acquire the methods, skills, and experience related to the real power electronics and drives equipment in a manner that is very close to the way they are being used in industry. This approach helps the teachers to interact with students and to utilize their practical experience and knowledge to improve course applicability and attraction.
