Assessment experience through a virtual classroom in course of Digital Signal Processing: a case study

This article describes the experience in the evaluation of students of the Digital Signal Processing course, using synchronous and non-synchronous modalities as a case study. This experience has been manifested in the academic semesters 2020–1 and 2020–2, of the Electronic Engineering career at the Ricardo Palma University, as a consequence of the abrupt change in the mode of delivery of classes due to the national confinement. Likewise, the Moodle and Blackboard Collaborate Ultra platforms were used as virtual classrooms. As for the evaluation, questionnaires, forums, simulation works, graded practices and oral interventions were used, all of them developed through a continuous evaluation for each academic unit, and without saturating the student with constant tasks and evaluations. And, as a result, the final averages were 12.26 and 12.69 for semesters 2020–1 and 2020–2, respectively; with a positive trend of 0.2353 with respect to previous years.
