Abstract

The paper describes a didactical experience which involved the implementation of an “e-activity” with university students who traditionally received classroom-based educations. The 91 students from three subjects who participated were organized in 27 groups for the “e-activity”. Afterwards, through a group interview, students were asked for their preference regarding group or individual tasks. The results show the difficulties perceived by the students during the “eactivity”, the learning they achieved, and their preferences for group work or individual tasks of this type.
