Abstract:
The student evaluation has an important role since it show us the acquisition degree of the competences fixed for a subject, being important that the students participate and have access to the rubric used before the evaluation has carried out, in order to know what is going to be evaluated and how. This will make them more aware of the quality of the work done and where their strengths and weaknesses are in terms of acquiring competences.

Self-evaluation is the quintessential strategy to educate in responsibility and to learn to value, criticize and reflect on the individual teaching and learning process carried out by the teacher. Mainly among the benefits of performing the self-evaluation, the following stand out:
- It is a learning activity that helps to reflect individually on the teaching and learning process carried out, and it is a means for the students to know and became aware of their individual progress in the teaching-learning process. It helps to delve into a grater self-knowlwdge and understanding of the process carried out.
- It is a basic factor of motivation and reinforcement of learning.
- It helps students to take responsability of their activities, while developing self management skills.

To make the students participate in the evaluation process, we have used Google's “CoRubrics” tool. “CoRubrics” is a tool for coevaluation through rubrics, it allows you to create rubrics based on Google Sheets, send forms to the students in a group, and collect the answers automatically, allowing you to carry out the entire evaluation process with rubrics (The teachers evaluate the students (or groups of students) with a rubric and the students also evaluate each other with a rubric).

With this evaluation form, the teachers intended to promote among students the use of the latest Information and Communication Technologies in teaching practice, as well as all the potential that Google Drive offers for collaborative work in virtual environments that they will carry out in their labor and professional future.

The students participation level has been very high and we believe that it has served for the student to reflect on the different competences they must have acquired when taking the course.

We have not been able to use CoRubrics as a co-evaluation tool because we have realized that for this we must carry out evaluation with other types of tests that a priori we did not have in the teaching guide.

Regarding the objective of using new Information and Communication Technologies, such as Google Drive, we have verified that the student is perfectly capable of communicating and making use of these tools. We have not received from the students any negative comments or difficulties to carry out the self-evaluation. For teachers it has been an affordable task, since the program is easy to use and generates an Excel sheet with the data provided with all the students, so its subsequent analysis is quite simple.
