CUEVAS-SALAZAR, Omar; GARCIA-LOPEZ, Ramona Imelda  and  CRUZ-MEDINA, Isidro Roberto. Evaluación del impacto de una plataforma para la gestión del aprendizaje utilizada en cursos presenciales en el Instituto Tecnológico de Sonora. RMIE [online]. 2008, vol.13, n.39, pp.1085-1107. ISSN 1405-6666.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effect of a technological platform on students' scholastic achievement and the perception of various involved actors with respect to the platform's usefulness. Known as the System of Support for Education with Internet Technologies (SAETI), the platform was evaluated through quantitative and qualitative focuses. The results indicated that its use does not have a positive influence on students' achievement; however, nor do the activities offered through SAETI to supplement classroom activities have a negative effect on student performance. The students believed that the platform can help in improving their academic performance and both the students and teachers recommended its use for supplementing classroom courses.

Keywords : evaluation; information technologies; teaching methods; higher education; scholastic achievement; Mexico.
