Sumario:A blended learning teaching experience conducted at Spain's National Distance University is described. The project consisted of integrating technology (a virtual learning platform) and teaching methodologies (multimedia contents, weekly deliverables, continuous self-assessment, mentoring, a four-month timetable, and webinars) to enhance student engagement, performance, and satisfaction. A statistical study showed that self-assessment and professor monitoring are key issues in students' initial perception and ultimate satisfaction as well as the most effective tools for preventing dropout. Project participants had a lower dropout rate and higher grades than non-participants.
