Recent research on gender minority showed that more males than females dropped out  during their first year of studying Engineering. One possible reason could be the difference in their use or take-up of Moodle.

It is well known that day to day studying is more difficult for minorities. If the face to face element is tougher, might the remote element help females to stay engaged with the curriculum? In order to answer this question, the use rate of Moodle by male and female  Engineering students at various levels was observed before and during exam periods.

In this session, Agnes Peeters from Haute École Bruxelles-Brabant (HE2B) in Belgium will present the statistical results and suggest some ways Moodle could help (gender) minorities at university level.
