Abstract

The transition of courses based on the classic combination of lectures, calculation exercises and laboratory works to student-centred learning sessions and group assignments has been a typical transition for courses at Aalto University and elsewhere. The entirety of the course Electricity Distribution and Markets and its development over time is reviewed, covering the online content, lecture make-up, and the various parts of the assignment work, including the use of a multi-cultural group-forming algorithm, with reference to feedback from students. The methodology employed during the development of this course and in the assessments of group work and flipped classroom techniques made in this paper is trial and error, and the paper evaluates the efficacy of the various pedagogical methods that have been tried through the lens of student feedback.
