A Web-based Learning Management System with Automatic Assessment Resources to Support the Diversity of Learning Rhythms

Resumo

Resumo: Web-based Learning Management Systems are welcomed to support the teaching and learning process. Such systems can help learners to create their own schedules for studying, since the content to be learnt is available in the system for a period of time diverse from a class, within a school, in a specific schedule. However, whenever the learning process is mediated by a web-based learning system, the delay on providing feedback may cause student's disappointment or course abandonment. In this paper, we present a Web-based Learning Management System with Automatic Assessment Resources and some of its functionalities. The system is presented as a tool for supporting the diversity of learning rhythms that tutors face during the teaching and learning process of any subject. In addition, a report is described based on experiences that authors have been had during the last three years.
