E-self-assessment and e-feedback questionnaires: an application in Moodle

In Learning Management Systems (LMS), the learning resources that students value most highly are selfassessment questionnaires (quizzes) that include automatic feedback to their responses in real-time. These systems can facilitate the development of conceptual and procedural competences. Our study therefore sets out to establish whether this tool and the frequency with which it is used will increase student learning outcomes and student satisfaction with the teaching process. A longitudinal study is conducted with a sample of 179 Health Science students on the Moodle Platform v.3.1. Both quantitative and qualitative techniques are applied to the analysis of the data. The results indicated that when the self-assessment questions were incorporated in instructional videos, the learners not only obtained better results but also increased their level of satisfaction with the degree course. In addition, students in both (the experimental and the control) groups considered that the use of videos incorporated in the LMS facilitated their conceptual understanding and respected their pace of learning. In summary, students valued the inclusion of automatic feedback (both within videos and self-assessment questionnaires) in real time as a good technique for the personalization of learning.
