Conclusions• EI policies should identify, manage and offer
both institutional and open resources.• Institutions should reinforce the dissemination
of EI practices. • The improvement aspects can be used to
encourage the application of EI.• There exists full coincidence in the most valued
variable of aspects to measure the EI success: effectiveness and efficiency of learning, followed by students’ motivation and a more active participation of students. Useful to evaluate the quality of EI.
