Interactive courseware to support blended learning

Covid-19 has been a game-changer in engineering education at the higher education level. Even beyond the pandemic, blended learning is there to stay. The design, execution, and delivery of blended learning can be supported by a plethora of fastdeveloping educational technology. In this paper we share the experience of the evolution of one engineering course "Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence" from a rather traditional design strongly relying on face-to-face interaction to a fully blended technology-supported course. In particular, we share the experience of how an interactive courseware platform called "Nextbook", which allows students and teacher to directly interact on the course material, supported the design, implementation, and delivery. Student experiences measured using a questionnaire are supplemented with teacher experiences to present the following "lessons learnt": A well-chosen platform can help students find clear structure in a mix of types of material, and social annotation features make it possible to connect discussion and questions and answers directly to the course material. Further efforts are needed for engaging students to actively use the features of interactive courseware platforms.
