Resumen
[EN] Today’s engineering industries require graduates with a broad range of soft skills, which
include teamwork, communication and integrity. Therefore, more accreditation bodies now recommend
team-learning activities to be embedded in their engineering programmes. However, hardworking students
often find group projects demotivating, especially if their contributions are not accurately reflected in their
individual grades. To address these issues, we demonstrate that Electronic Laboratory Notebooks can be
used to promote student collaboration and teamwork on a group project. They can also help instructors
assess student contributions fairly. During our investigations, we noticed that students have used Electronic
Laboratory Notebooks as social interaction tools that enable text, data, images and recorded audio to be
exchanged. Consequently, we describe the experiences of 58 transnational undergraduate students in using
six different software products for a team-based learning activity. According to our investigations, Electronic
Laboratory Notebooks had a positive impact on supporting Team Based Learning in a new electronic
engineering course. The outcomes of our investigations can help create effective teaching and learning
resources for undergraduate students in Electronic Engineering. They can also help staff members make
evidence-based decisions regarding the introduction of Electronic Laboratory Notebooks in undergraduate
research activities.
