Abstract
In the current paper we share our six years of experience and examine an integrated contact- and e-learning course in managerial psychology for engineering students. To better understand the effectiveness of combining various didactic methods, including e-learning, the engineering students’ (N=796) feedback on the course was analyzed. Our study focuses on the face-to-face lecture and the e-lecture, employing either the digital teaching tools on CD-ROMs or web-based e-lectures. We failed to find any statistically significant difference between these two types of lectures in the students’ assessment. The analysis of the feedback suggests that the engineering students generally have a highly positive attitude towards integrating contact- and e-learning courses. The findings indicate that successful e-learning takes place within a complex system involving various didactical methods of teaching.
