There is an ongoing debate about the fact that educational models of the industrial age are no longer adequate. Future educational models need to provide students with the abilities to solve complex problems as well as to collaborate and interact to generate new meaning and knowledge. In order to do so, teamwork activities should be pedagogically strengthened and technologically augmented in science and engineering education. This paper presents a pilot study implementing a blended learning scenario in a bachelor course at EPFL. In this framework, digital tools are proposed to support collaboration. The tools considered are a learning experience platform, an integrated Tasks Management Application, as well as a collaborative reporting editor. This article also presents our findings on the usability and adoption of those tools, as well as preliminary results on their impact on engagement and teamwork. We also mention the effect of collaborative writing on contributions. Finally, we draw insightful lessons on engagement, the use of learning analytics, and the peer evaluation of teamwork. This paper contributes to science and engineering education by providing new insights on teamwork activities supported by digital tools in blended learning scenarios.
