A complex tutoring system for e-learning: The new evaluation model

UNED (Spanish University for Distance Education) is the largest public distance education university in Spain with over 220,000 students, 1600 lecturers and 2000 administrative staff. Currently, the EHEA (European Higher Education Area) adapted new degrees have just started, so focusing on personal activities for the evaluation model is very important. In UNED, the number of students (near of 42000 students in the 120 subjects of its first course) makes the role of tutors who assist lecturers in the new evaluation model proposed by EHEA very important. Also, tutors must use the same e-learning platform tools as lecturers, in order to have a course evaluation control panel that follows a student's learning process. In this paper, the course evaluation system will be presented and how it is implemented in order to enable tutors to access only the grades of their students. As a result, some indicators will be presented in order to validate the approach of the new evaluation system for EHEA degrees: tutors with “activity” in their personal subgroups, number of degrees undertaken by the tutors, etc.
