A change in the pedagogical approach and techniques is established in two subjects of the Mechanical Engineering Degree of the University of Cantabria, in order to solve problems detected during the last decade and accentuated with the pandemic. Specifically, in first pilot, two main changes are to be performed with respect to previous years. A mixed pedagogical approach is adopted, where both the Traditional and Flipped Classroom are combined, making the class time more valuable and engaging better with the students, and a collaborative project to an “open-problem” is proposed for the students to solve in groups of three, where the majority of the competences are exercised. In this regard, the use of Technology Enhanced Learning has been seen essential in order to facilitate students’ access to the knowledge and contents. In University of Cantabria context, Kaltura tool was used for this purpose, which is embedded in Moodle platform. In the second pilot, students currently have the contents of the course in “slide” format before the class sessions, therefore, the generation of audiovisual resources will consist of the complement and support of the current teaching mechanisms used. In order to aid a better student follow-up, a one-year action plan has been developed. Within this plan, it is the second month of the project and therefore, the need of the audiovisual resources has been outlined and some videos have been created. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
