Abstract
This contribution reports the results from surveys designed to measure student reaction to mathematics classes offered in blended e-learning mode at three Italian universities. The responses attested to the interest and appreciation of the students, who found e-learning resources useful and supportive, although more for individual study than for acting cooperatively. The students stressed difficulties related to mathematical writing, but overall their assessment was positive.
