Assuring the Quality of the Practicum in the EHEA with Moodle and Google Docs - Design of a Tool for Facilitating the Practicum Monitoring

The introduction of the European Higher Education Area has a methodological impact on most university courses, but in some cases the main change comes from the access of a larger number of students to the courses. Specifically, the Practicum used to be an option for only a few students in most degrees, but after the EHEA its deployment will be much more generalised. In order not to degrade the quality of the Practicum monitoring process, measures should be taken for facilitating the task of Practicum supervisors. In this paper we present the implementation of a software tool designed to this end. A first version of the tool is based on the well-known Moodle e-learning platform. Since we detected some problems due to the coexistence of different versions of Moodle, we introduced other emerging technologies, such as cloud computing, and in particular Google Docs. We show that the combination of Moodle and Google Docs allows an efficient monitoring of the Practicum and helps to guarantee its quality, regardless of the version of Moodle in use.
