The impact of distance learning on student success for electrical engineering professional courses

Electrical Engineering undergraduate study at Zagreb University of Applied Sciences for professional courses is performed in blended learning environment combining the advantages of both face-to-face teaching and computer-assisted learning. Usually, teaching process of a professional course consists of lectures, exercises and laboratory exercises. The data sets related to attendance and overall exam success were analyzed to validate the impact of blending learning components on the learning success with the focus on distance learning one. Distance learning proves to be a useful method as a complement to face-to-face teaching.
