Abstract
We live in an era of digital technologies evolving rapidly and in extraordinary ways. Teaching a highly technological course in this era entails teaching stu‑ dents to actively seek out, stay current, and be autonomous in their studies. This is already provided for in Iscte’s pedagogical model, centring on active learning. Keeping up to date is time‑consuming and requires good time and task management. Flipped learning promotes active learning, and eduScrum provides mechanisms for managing tasks and time productively. This paper details adapting those methodologies to an Operating Systems and Virtualisation course delivered in the first semester of the first year at Iscte’s Higher Education School in Sintra, Portugal, in the 2024–2025 academic year. This year, 95% of students completed the course criterion, with a mean of 16 and a standard deviation 2.
