Design of an effective assessment-feedback scheme through a virtual learning environment

Abstract

The teaching-learning process faces big challenges to incorporate information and communication technologies (ICTs) in an effective way. Considering virtual learning environments (VLEs) which provide higher-education students with the possibility to solve assessments focused on solving problems with multiple-choice questions (MCQ), and which offer the student feedback in relation to the answers, this paper presents a proposal to design the medular part of such kind of VLEs: an assessment-feedback scheme. This proposal considers the fundamentals and the results of various works on feedback and on learning-processes. Additionally, the scheme should capture the student’s browsing for further analysis.
