Abstract
The trend towards generalized blended and active learning approaches in engineering education is redefining the requirements and the deployment schemes for digital education platforms. This paper presents a quadriptych techno-pedagogical model highlighting the features and the services an effective digital education platform should provide to accompany educators in their journey towards the creation of rich—and possibly open—educational resources, as well as their integration into blended and active learning scenarios. An implementation of this model for a novel digital education platform called Graasp is discussed and three use cases are detailed. These use cases show that a large variety of active pedagogical scenarios can be implemented, if easily accessible and comprehensive digital education platforms are available.
