Abstracts

EN

The article summarises two-year experience of implementing a hybrid formula for teaching computer techniques at the Faculty of Architecture at the Gdańsk University of Technology. Original educational e-materials – consisting of video clips, text and graphic instructions, as well as links to online resources – are embedded in the university e-learning educational platform. The author discusses not only technical constraints associated with the creation of e-materials and their deposition on the Moodle platform, but also associated didactic challenges, such as the evaluation of students’ skills and real time communication.
