Tecnologías semánticas para la evaluación en red: Análisis de una experiencia con la herramienta oele

Abstract

The key role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in universities is out of question. The fast development of ICTs has brought with it the creation of new teaching-learning environments in higher education. This paper shows the results of a study that made use of a software in order to conduct and assess short-answer online tests. The software also provided students with feedback on their performance. The study was carried out with a group of undergraduate Education students at the University of Murcia (Spain) enrolled in an online subject. The focus of the online assessment procedures introduced in this study was beyond multiple-choice tests traditionally used in online assessment. Results of this study not only showed the scope of online assessment, but also defined guidelines for evaluation in online courses. This research study is part of the "Semantic Environment for Personalized Learning" Project funded by the Fundación Séneca (Murcia, Spain).
