This article details the results of a study based on research carried out by a Teaching Innovation Group (GID) within the framework of blended university teaching. This GID has developed two types of experiences. The first is part of a teaching innovation network and is based on collaborative work between students of two courses of the same degree. The second focuses on the preparation of whiteboard videos made available to students. In both cases, the research is carried out in subjects of the Degree in Economics. The objective of this article is double. In the first place, it is intended to analyze to what extent teachers can stimulate student participation in the virtual course. Second, it discusses how teachers can foster the development of a strong learning community in a virtual environment.
