Abstract(s)
Nowadays, with the use of technology and the Internet, education is undergoing significant changes,
contemplating new ways of teaching and learning. One of the widely methods of teaching used to
promote knowledge, consists in the use of virtual environments available in various formats, taking as
example the teaching-learning platforms, which are available online.
The Internet access and use of Laptops have created the technological conditions for teachers and
students can benefit from the diversity of online information, communication, collaboration and sharing
with others. The integration of Internet services in the teaching practices can provide thematic, social
and digital enrichment for the agents involved.
In this paper we will talk about the advantages of LMS (Learning Management Systems) such as
Moodle, to support the presential lectures in higher education. We also will analyse its implications for
student support and online interaction, leading educational agents to a mixing of different learning
environments, where they can combine face-to-face instruction with computer-mediated instruction,
blended-learning, and increases the options for better quality and quantity of human interaction in a
learning environment.
We also will present some tools traditionally used in online assessment and that are part of the
functionalities of Moodle. These tools can provide interesting alternatives to promote a more
significant learning and contribute to the development of flexible and customized models of an
evaluation which we want to be more efficient.
