• Redesign of the Teaching and Learning Cycle in Engineering

• Practical competences: Laboratories, Virtual and Remote

• Conclusions

SUMMARYOur world is in continuous change, and inside the Engineering Education arena we saw those changes arising mainly in the last 10 years. Teaching methodologies are evolving such as remote and virtual laboratories, MOOCs and blended learning, among others like learning analytics, assessment and engagement, they will be analyzed and connected. Those activities and learning technologies are impacting Renewable Energies Engineering Education as part of the Engineering areas.  The evolution of teaching through face-to-face, distance learning and now online learning will be linked to the increasing use of technology in teaching, analyzing the main critical factors in the EHEA as changes followed by other areas like Middle East and North Africa. This evolution is a key driving factor towards blended learning and jumping to open education (OCW and MOOCs) which are caused today by a change in the higher education paradigm pushed by the international crisis as well as the in-depth refurbishing of the public and private university roles in the different education steps and in life-long learning

• OCW / Khan Academy

Open: from the Learning Objects to OCW and to MOOCs

Evolution to the openess:Learning Objects (units) >>> Open Course Ware (contents) >>> MOOC (delivery)
