A BLENDED LEARNING PROJECT IN GENERAL CHEMISTRY FOR UNDERGRADUATE LEVELS IN CHEMISTRY AND BIOCHEMISTRY DEGREES

Incorporation of the Spanish University System to European Higher Education Area has been a substantial change in the way of understanding the teaching-learning process. In this new context, it is expected for the students to get used to work in an autonomous way (ECTS) and for the professors to effectively help and advise the student and supervise their work in the context of every particular scientific subject. The University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) is concerned to this challenge of adaptation of the lessons from grade to the new important methodological requirements. This paper presents an educational project of blended learning suitable for the subject General Chemistry in the studies of Chemistry and Biochemistry degrees. It is part of a much larger project: Campus Extens Project, an integrated semipresential educational project at UIB, since it uses model systems for student to work inside and Outside the university campus. Campus Extens uses the Moodle platform for the management of on-line educational process. This communication explains what the use we have made of the various facilities of the Moodle tool for the educational process: generation of web pages, resolution of questionnaires, use of forums, creation of wikis, etc. Finally we present data on the level of student success and briefly compared with results obtained by students in similar courses that use a different teaching methodology.
