Education at the Mechatronics Division is traditionally based on collaborative-constructivist theory of learning and attempts tointegrate theoretical studies with practical exercises (Grimheden, 2006). Most of our courses are characterized by Dewey’scatchphrase “learning by doing”, developed further in Community of Inquiry (Garrison, 2015) and reviewed by Stenbom(2018). In this digitalized era when technology is changing rapidly, especially electronics and computational technology, it isnot far-fetched to expect of our teaching methods to follow this development. Thus, we aim to develop technology enhancedlearning in our electro courses in accordance to current pedagogical and technological trends (Ismil, 2020). The main aim ofthis ongoing research is to examine how teaching presence designed with interactive assignments enhances our students’learning.
