Towards a blended learning approach to teach a theoretical computer science module

Theoretical computer science is a difficult subject in the computer science curriculum. Innovations in teaching and new pedagogic practices have been developing in the last decade but are still far from being widely applied to computer science We propose that the teaching of more challenging areas of computer science can benefit from opportunities created by a blended approach of face-to-face with online teaching and individual and group activities. We present the design of a Design and Analysis of Algorithms including innovations in pedagogy, as flipped classroom, problem-based lectures and social learning
