Learning is a complex process that needs to be carefully taken under control by assessing its outcomes (direct monitoring) and by identifying the factors that might affect them (indirect monitoring). A large number of well-documented assessment techniques is available, but they are heterogeneous in nature and they are independently applied even within the same institution, so that they produce results which are not suitable for comparison and cross-processing. This paper presents an integrated computer-aided methodology that makes use of a comprehensive set of questionnaires (monitoring tools) administered within a unified framework (software assessment tool) in order to gather coherent data sets on which advanced statistical analyses can be performed. The applicability of the approach is demonstrated on a realworld case study.

Abstract
Learning is a complex process that needs to be carefully taken under control by assessing its outcomes (direct monitoring) and by identifying the factors that might affect them (indirect monitoring). A large number of well-documented assessment techniques is available, but they are heterogeneous in nature and they are independently applied even within the same institution, so that they produce results which are not suitable for comparison and cross-processing. This paper presents an integrated computer-aided methodology that makes use of a comprehensive set of questionnaires (monitoring tools) administered within a unified framework (software assessment tool) in order to gather coherent data sets on which advanced statistical analyses can be performed. The applicability of the approach is demonstrated on a realworld case study.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
