Virtual teaching tools: the moodle (studium) contribution to the evaluation activity

Published:14 November 2013Publication History

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was developed under the Innovation Project "Evaluation and monitoring of the use of virtual teaching tools in a teaching b-learning stage". Its main purpose was, above all, to evaluate the use of Studium by teachers in the Department of Didactics, Organization and Research Methods at Salamanca University. Studium is the Moodle platform (http://moodle.usal.es), supported by the University of Salamanca (USAL). We have pretended to take into account teachers' point of view to subsequently propose improvement actions.

The results showed how the subjects related to Information Technology and Communication (ICT) have integrated more digital content as well as activities such as surveys and wikis. In the same group, self-assessment, evaluation of work and tests punctuate significantly higher. However, there is no perceptible difference in the interaction among students themselves and in students with teachers groups.
