Online assessment using different tools and techniques in higher education
Paula Lopes, Ana; Baptista Soares, FilomenaAssessment can be a crucial component in the teaching and learning process and should measure or certify results. Online assessment means using the technology to provide assessment which can be diagnostic, formative or summative and can be considered a valuable tool in higher education as it allows teachers, on one hand, to have quick access to students’ performance and, on the other hand, students can receive ...
Student's perceptions of flipped classroom approach: results from an educationa...
Paula Lopes, Ana; Baptista Soares, Filomena; Bentabol Manzanares, María Amparo; Esteban, Ana; Muñoz, Maria Del Mar; Ruiz, Maria DoloresThe Flipped Classroom model is well known and recognized, and its popularity seems to keep increasing. In this pedagogical model, the transmission of conceptual knowledge is left to individual tasks outside the classroom while the contact hours, inside the classroom, are completely opened to problem solving, active and peer-assisted learning. The purpose of this work is to describe an educational innovative exp...
