Abstract

Through different research projects and other endeavours, many authors have been emphasizing in recent years the importance of the student's role in the assessment process, for example, by means of self-assessment or peer assessment. Here the use of self-assessment is analyzed and described, but within a context of blended learning utilizing information and communications technologies (ICTS), with the aim of expanding the usefulness and feasibility of self-assessment at the university level. Firstly, the conceptual framework on which this research is based is introduced. The focus is on two fundamental topics: student participation in the assessment process and the use of technologies in the assessment process. As a relevant contribution, the authors present the facilitating role that can be played by assessment units designed with the LAMS platform (the Learning Activity Management System, part of the Virtual Campus) in order to incorporate students' e-self assessments into the university teaching/learning process. Secondly, the research results are presented. They take the form of case studies structured around the different issues raised in the questionnaires used to implement e-assessment: knowledge and previous resources, contributions to assessment tasks, interesting topics raised, challenges for expanding and learning, and workload. Conclusions about the use of e-self-assessment in higher education are presented. Stress is laid on the fact that e-self-assessment promotes active participation by students and also implies an exercise in self-regulation and critical reflection about one's degree of knowledge and development of skills. Lastly, some limitations detected in the process of this research are considered, and outlooks are presented that enable research in this context to be continued.
