Abstract-Engineering education is facing many challenges: a decline in core mathematical skills; lowering entry requirements; and the diversity of the student cohort. One approach to confronting these challenges is to make subject content appropriate to the communication styles of today's student. To achieve this, a pedagogical shift from the traditional hierarchical approach to learning to one that embraces the use of technology as a tool to enhance the student learning experience is required. By including the student as co-creator of course content, a greater sense of engagement is achieved and a change to one where students become agents of their own learning is realized. This active learning constructivist approach shifts the focus from content delivery by the lecturer to active engagement with content by the student and in doing so provides an environment of achievement and ownership which empowers the student and increases self-efficacy. The online platform comprises a set of multiple choice questions focused on core mathematical concepts. The quizzes are constructed to adapt to student responses with custom video feedback created by their peers. This paper outlines the methodology followed and provides results of its evaluation in terms of student's perceptions.

“…Following the increased popularity of podcasting in higher education due to simplified production and inexpensive hardware, several research studies have looked at the effectiveness of podcasts created by academics as pedagogical tools and their impact on student learning at university. Often these studies evaluate the impact of student use of the technology on their performance and engagement with a subject, for instance in engineering [9]. In undergraduate mathematics student perceptions of the effective use of lecture (screen) recordings and the impact on grades of planning to watch the recording of a skipped lecture, but not actually watching it, are analysed [10].…”

Undergraduate mathematics is traditionally designed and taught by content experts with little contribution from students. Indeed, there are signs that there is resistance from mathematics lecturers to involve students in the creation of material to support their peers-notwithstanding the fact that students have been successfully engaged as co-creators of material in other disciplines. There appears to be little research into what issues may lead to reservations to using student created content in mathematics learning.

The information technologies applications in various fields of human activity are developing exponentially now. The article considers possibility of using screencasting in a computer science course at a technical university. Screencast is a video that contains a record of actions performed on a computer with the author’s comments. The advantages and disadvantages of this technology in the learning process are considered. It is noted that the technology of on-screen video is distinguished by information richness and strong emotional effect on the student. The application of screencasting in computer science classes at the Tomsk Polytechnic University using the mathematical package MathCad, which has the means to solve all kinds of problems associated with symbolic operations, is presented. The motivation for this study is to increase the student learning process effectiveness. Therefore, the objectives of the study are: to study the possibility of screencasting in the student learning process organization, to study the possibility of using this technology during studying a computer science course, to find out how effectively this method allows to master knowledge in the relevant discipline. The results of study using this technology and the traditional method are analyzed. It is shown that the use of screencasting allows to improve the test results in comparison with the group trained by the traditional method.
