Abstract
GARCIA-ANTELO, Beatriz and CASAL-OTERO, Lorena. The use of the virtual campus for tutoring and monitoring the end-of-degree work: teachers’ assessment and training proposal. Rev. iberoam. educ. super [online]. 2020, vol.11, n.32, pp.216-227. Epub Feb 10, 2021. ISSN 2007-2872. https://doi.org/10.22201/iisue.20072872e.2020.32.823.
This work presents a descriptive study in which 282 professors of the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), Spain, have taken part. The objective of this study was to analyze the use of the virtual campus to monitor and supervise the end-of-degree projects (Trabajos de Fin de Grado). In order to gather the information, the authors made use of a questionnaire was used, specifically drawn up for this study. The results show a very low percentage for the use of the virtual campus for this purpose, evidencing the professors’ preference for face-to-face tutoring and their ignorance of the possibilities provided by this tool. Consequently, the authors also present a training proposal for the teachers who want to improve their skills in this field.
