Those in higher education have implemented new learning tools to blend online and face-to-face pedagogies shifting current strategies from an information-giving model to an active-critical and plural-formative paradigm that allows our students not just to be informed, but also to critically discriminate and use the overwhelming amount of information that is accessible. In this presentation, we will report our experience on hy-bridging the gap between students’ inactive behavior and the desired active involvement in lecture.
