Abstract
In the subject of Networks of the Degree in Computer Engineering of the University of A Coruna, the fundamentals of communication through a network of computers are explained. A short film contest has been proposed in order to foster the participation and increase the motivation of the students. It is intended that the student is the protagonist, in clear harmony with the purpose of the current educational reform. The aim of this activity is to explain a concept in a video 3 minutes long as maximum. Then, the videos are evaluated by several students and teachers using a rubric according to a blind evaluation. The benefits of this activity are two: students who prepare the videos must understand the concepts, and students who watch the videos learn in a more informal and funny way. A survey has been provided to the students and the results have been very positive. Moreover, good-quality videos have been obtained, so they can be employed as teaching material.
