ENSINANDO CONCEITOS E AVALIANDO CORRETAMENTE EM DISCIPLINAS EXPERIMENTAIS DOS CURSOS DE ENGENHARIA, USANDO TÉCNICAS DE ENSINO À DISTÂNCIA

Abstract

Based on the result of an innovative researchfor the development of the preparation, support andevaluation of laboratory disciplines in engineering courses,this article applies a previously validated methodology,using the worldwide online learning platform Moodle. Thedescribed system allows a hybrid solution: part presential,part at distance. This way, is possible to increase efficiencyof the delivering of concepts for a practical discipline of thebasic curriculum of Engineering. Additionally, it is appliedan also hybrid evaluation methodology, that ensures thecertification of the student, generating a parameter formeasuring the learning process and difficulties with it. Theproposed system in this article was implemented on theMoodle platform, been configured for a laboratorydiscipline of the engineering course and finally it wasapplied as a pilot test for students of the respective course.Some results of this application are presented in this article.
