JUSTO LOPEZ, Araceli Celina; CASTRO GARCIA, Lorena; AGUILAR SALINAS, Wendolyn Elizabeth y FUENTES LARA, Maximiliano de las. Digital educational strategies to support basic engineering science courses. Apert. (Guadalaj., Jal.) [online]. 2021, vol.13, n.1, pp.52-67. Epub 02-Jul-2021.

In this paper there are described some educational strategies based on virtual learning environments, which were implemented in engineering programs with the purpose of mitigating failure rates in basic stage subjects. Based on a case study at the University of Baja California, the causes of failure for the period 2013 to 2016 were diagnosed, and subsequently, from 2017 to 2019, the implementation of four support strategies began. An analysis of the behavior of the failure rates before and after the implementation of the strategies was made, and the results show up that both the failure levels in five subjects as well as the student lag decreased. Even though the strategies applied in this study are replicable, and the use of virtual learning environments supports students’ academic performance, it is still necessary to expand the research to measure the impact of additional strategies that were put in to practice simultaneously.
