It can be observed that the number of students learning at engineer faculties has been dropping for several years. There may be many reasons for such a situation and difficult study program can be one of them. Academic teachers try new teaching methodologies to make their courses more attractive. On the other hand courses are often attended by very large groups of students and they are not motivated well to learn. The initiative described in the article is an attempt to apply active and blended learning to solve these problems. Traditional means of delivering knowledge are blended with web learning materials and collaboration tools. In consequence, students understand the course content better and they get better final grades. Great enthusiasm can be seen on both sides – students as well as academic teachers. What is more, students change their attitude from being too much individualistic to a group of students being capable to cluster around the task. Finally, they can form a group and work in a team.
