The evaluation in teletraining and tools for the creation of exams

Abstract

Online assessment is a topic of great relevance today, as education has always had teaching, learning and learning assessment as its main elements. Not only is it important for the student to be present in the virtual course, but also to demonstrate the skills acquired, and their performance can be evaluated from various activities or exams. Under the mentioned context, a group of students from a public institution in the city of Monterrey, N.L. Mexico, carried out a series of activities that allowed them to research, debate and conclude collaboratively on the subject of evaluation. As a first activity, they took exams using online tools and later debated for two weeks a set of research questions related to the evaluation of online learning through a discussion forum. The results obtained based on the analysis of the contributions that the students made in the discussion forum and based on the survey on the learning experience that was applied at the end of the debate, showed that evaluation is a crucial point in education Virtual that must be contemplated from the moment the instructional design is carried out and it must generate a follow-up in the student’s performance throughout the teaching-learning process that would guarantee their identity. On the other hand, it was shown that the tools for creating online exams are very useful and can be a resource that, together with practice, allow a global evaluation of the student. Thus, it was also shown that the students were satisfied with their learning experience during the development of the various activities around the topic.
