“…In other cases, the courses become too mechanic, like receipts that people apply without understanding what they are really doing. To improve the previous situation, it is very helpful the use of innovative methodologies and techniques, that help students to improve their learning results and scoring through a learning by doing methodology using digital interactive tools (Lisitsyna, Efimchik, & Izgareva, 2017). The use of new technologies allows students to better understand concepts that are difficult to explain, such as the level of confidence of the impact of an advertising campaign on sales, the sensibility of the return of one stock to the changes in the market returns or the impact of education over salaries (Hattinger, Engeström, & Sannino, 2018).…”

Purpose: The main goal of this paper is to determine if the use of a blended methodology can improve performance and satisfaction of the students, with no additional time cost for teachers. As a second objective, the article attempts to explain observed differences across students in the effect of the methodology on study time based on the theory of optimal decision making. Finally, we sketch a simple cost benefit analysis for the digital learning platform (DLP) used.Design: The teachers combined the traditional classes methodology with the adoption of a DLP in two courses of Microeconomics at an undergraduate level at ESIC Business & Marketing School. Subsequently it is analyzed the impact of this methodology on student satisfaction and performance, as well as on student’s study time using different analytical tools.Findings: students’ grades, at the final exam, increased in a significative way as they spent more time with the DLP and/or when they do more digital assignments at home. Their satisfaction with the blended methodology, and the use of the DLP was quite high for most of students. Their feedback on working time relative to traditional methods showed two extremes, either studying much more or much less. We provide a theoretical explanation for this observation, based on Microeconomic theory. A cost-benefit analysis of the DLP tool at an institutional level suggests that its economic costs are more than justified by the economic benefits of the tool in terms of student’s satisfaction, brand reputation and teachers time saving.Contribution: This document provides a methodology to measure the benefits of an innovative learning methodology using relevant indicators and employing advanced statistical techniques as regression analysis. It also helps us to understand student’s behavior in the face of an educational innovation based on technology. The findings are in line with economic theory.

The article describes the principles of developing RLCP-compatible virtual laboratories. There are build two virtual laboratories based on these principles for mastering the basic algo-rithms on neural networks: Algorithm for Sequential Signal Propagation in Perceptron and Algorithm for Training Perceptron Using Method of Backward Error Propagation. Virtual laboratories consist of two independent modules – a virtual stand and an RLCP server. The virtual stand implements a visual display of the task's data and provides the listener with tools for forming and editing intermediate solutions and responses. Since the virtual laboratories were assumed for the first acquaintance with neural networks, the simplest neural network architectures in the form of single-layer perceptrons were used as the initial data. And the algorithm of sequential propagation of signals in a neural network (VL1) and the algorithm of training a neural network with a teacher based on the method of inverse error propagation (VL2) are used as the basic algorithms. For automatic generation of equally complex and valid tasks there have been proposed algorithms with high efficiency (the average time for generating an individual task on the VL2 stand for a student was no longer than 3 seconds). It was found out experimentally that such virtual laboratories should be created in two modes: the mode of training and mode of certification. The training shop works for solving problems using the studied algorithms on the stands of virtual laboratories in the training mode with the diagnosis of admitted errors significantly increase the effectiveness of students' results
