BlendXL — Blended Learning for extra Large learning Groups (EU)

Teaching large groups of students is an increasingly common phenomenon in higher education, especially in the first year of study, when many students follow introductory courses or core modules. These courses are often taught in large groups in big lecture theatres, which is found de-motivating by both students and teachers because of the lack of communication. As a consequence, there is a higher attrition rate and a lower success rate on the exams than in small-scale education, especially in technical studies where a high dropout rate is common and is leading to a shortage of engineers at a European level.
