Abstract :
In the last years, the field of education has advanced boosted by the introduction of Information Technologies owever, these advances have occurred to a lesser extent in the support of evaluation and assessment of students´ learning, even when the improvements in evaluation would enhance the whole learning process. In this paper, the processes involved in assessment in engineering university learning are identified described, reviewed and analyzed in order to ensure fast feedback to the students. A method for evaluation called eXtreme Learning is introduced which builds upon highly granular and continuous evaluation, integration of evaluation within the general learning process and fast feedback of evaluation results to students. At the same time, the method keeps some principles of traditional learning considered mandatory for its application in university education, as they certify the level of knowledge of the student.
