Abstract

Active Learning is a known and very promising approach to boost the learning processes driven by the students. In this paper a novel Educational Innovation Project is described in order to solve several problems found in two specific subjects related to Computer Architecture. More specifically, the project is based on Research Based Project, a less known paradigm that encourages the students to address the gaps between the theoretical information received in classical lessons and the real practice looking for information in serious scientific sources of information. The project is described, including its objectives, Sustainable Development Goals, transversal competences, improvements to be implemented, teaching-learning methodology and temporal scheduling.
