Teaching microelectronic design by using student active methods in the era of elearning

E-learning is often marketed as the panacea for any problems with learning in higher education. Transform your course to be e-learning events, and you can lean back and watch the learning happen on the Web. But of course, this is not true. Most systems categorized e-learning, are really Learning Management Systems (LMS). These systems are very useful in more than their intended ways. Being a ¿barefoot¿ pedagogue myself, I have during 20 years of practice gained experience on how student active learning methods can lead to deep learning. In this presentation, I will emphasize how LMS, portfolio development, peer evaluation between student groups, can be exploited to reach the learning goals we set for learning to perform microelectronic design.
