Abstract

The present education model is being modified according to the objectives of the European Space for Higher Education. One of the main changes is the adoption of the European Credit Transfer System as the criteria for measuring the workload of learning activities. Teachers should define the learning activities of their courses so that the global workload of a group of students is balanced along the term or academic year. And students should manage their time and organise their work to efficiently achieve the learning outcomes. In this paper, we present a tool that assists both, teachers and students, in time management so that the new education paradigm can be succesfully introduced. The paper also describes a first experience of the use of this tool and the conclussions of the pilot test.
