Abstract

This work presents an online system to facilitate the assessment and feedback in project management education. Students are involved in real-world engineering projects in order to promote professional project management learning. Thus, students share an experience in executing and managing projects and are able to put into practice different skills and competences that a project member should possess in the development of a project. The proposed system considers competence assessment through different pieces of evidence that are pertinent to each assessed competence. Information from the three main actors in learning activities (teacher, peer, and learner) is collected by means of specifically developed online forms. All the gathered evidences are considered in a weighted integration to yield a numerical assessment score of each competence that is developed for each student. Furthermore, three different types of feedback are implemented and provided several times in order to promote and improve students’ learning. Data analysis from a specific academic course suggest that the presented system has a positive impact on students’ academic performance.
