Abstract

This paper presents a teaching innovation project which has followed others successfully conducted in the past. This project dealt with the development of the online campus of the University of Murcia, Spain. More specifically, we designed didactic websites bearing in mind preset teaching, technical and pedagogical criteria, and implemented them in the teaching and assessment of different subjects.

Fourteen teachers and four students from the Faculty of Education at the University of Murcia (Spain) collaborated in this study. Didactic websites were used in 17 subjects taught in 21 classes in six undergraduate courses. Overall, 639 students benefited from the use of didactic websites.

Results showed that teachers assessed didactic websites positively because these fostered independence, autonomy and self-management in teaching, while students regarded didactic websites as useful and suitable instruments for self-regulation of their learning processes.
