Based on the results of the application of blended learning and teaching for two consecutive semesters at a university of technology, their potential to support meaningful learning of undergraduate mathematics is discussed. The use of clickers, minute and muddiest point papers and board work as educational tools with incomplete sentences as evaluative tool, are discussed.
