“…There was a strong need in our department of a software like iTest to help professors and students to assess quickly and easily the teaching and learning process (Joglar et al , 2007). In their first year in college, students are not accustomed to the evaluation method traditionally used at Spanish universities where only a final exam at the end of each semester is administered in abstract courses.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to describe the activities designed and conducted with primary school, secondary school and university students to study the integration of alternative assessment and self‐assessment online tools in mathematics courses using iTest. iTest is an educational software tool born to support the continuous evaluation system promoted by the European Space for Higher Education (ESHE).Design/methodology/approachTo cyclically design, implement and analyze the results of the activities a design‐based research methodology was followed which also facilitates the collaboration between researchers and teachers.FindingsStudents and Professors involved in the activities had positive attitudes towards the practical use of the tool. It was detected that iTest offers a good testing tool for units that focus on skills and procedural development as well as for units that are problem‐based and require visualization and manipulation of the geometric representation.Originality/valueiTest is found to be an appropriate complementary software for evaluation in the ESHE. After all the experiences described in this paper, it is now possible to begin the design of a virtual learning environment for mathematics implementing iTest as the assessment and self‐assessment tool.

“…There was a strong need in our department of a software like iTest to help professors and students assess quickly and easily the teaching and learning process [9] especially in the first year since new students were not accustomed to the evaluation method traditionally used at Spanish universities where only a final exam at the end of each semester was administered in abstract courses. Therefore at the beginning of the academic year 2006-07 we decided to design, implement and partially try iTest with a group of Calculus students.…”

This paper describes the experiences designed and conducted with college Mathematics students to study the integration of alternative assessment and self-assessment online tools in the classroom. We have used the educational software iTest, developed by a group of professors at the Computer Science departments of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain). Special efforts have been made to implement iTest as part of the continuous evaluation methodology promoted by the European Space for Higher Education. The use of this online tool in primary and secondary education after the in-service teacher training seminars we have facilitated is also described in this article.
