Content:

The text presents us with the way they introduced a model of learning in Aveiro University, where students felt during a tool for use within the institution.

At first we made ​​the presentation of the model employed by this university, which disclosed the strategies, tools (in this case the employee by the institution: Wiki), activities and how to evaluate the process (whether autonomous teaching or taking into account student participation and other teachers).

To test the effectiveness of the model to develop, collected physical evidence, such as the views of the student, looking like this that we do in our research of the course with the personal portfolio tool performance Funlam student.

Having the student's opinion leads to practical consequences for the design of cooperative activities, where each part, teacher-student, contributes to the evolution of the tool as an effective method in the university.

In the process the model was observed by the students after evaluation of skill straining proposals for each area, leading to conclusion the importance of self-assessment of students.

As formative feedback model took into account the students, where they suggest possible changes for the better use of the tool within the institution, something like what we want to get us to the investigation of the portfolio, that of the non-only teachers and administrative, but also the student, as a participant in the process of using the tool in the learning process.

Comments: The evaluation of the academic process should not be done only by the teacher, but with the joint participation of students and other teachers in the specific area worked.

Teachers should have support throughout the process, not only at the end of the course.

The assessment should be under the guidelines of objective learning.
