Pedro García Fernández, Antonio Mora García, Pablo García Sánchez
In the context of the European Higher Education Area, it is needed to propose new motivation ways to engage university students in lectures. Since they prefer the application of active methodologies rather than passive ones, and they enjoy the use of interactive devices, using technology in the classroom seems promising. Thus, this paper presents an experience conducted in four technical subjects included in two University Degrees, in which the students used an electronic voting system during class time. The students' evaluation and opinion results obtained in two academic courses are presented and analyzed, providing figures to support this proposal.
