Abstract:

PIMECOE, an innovation and educational improvement project, is researching and developing a novel self-formative methodology for the improvement of the mastery level of the student outcome "effective communication", a quite demanded outcome by both our society and working market, that is typically assessed in the curriculum but rarely developed at the classroom.

The project aims to assess student's initial mastery level on the "effective communication" outcome through self-diagnostic tools, allowing them to detect all their weaknesses and strengths. Then, a self-formative itinerary is proposed to them, which includes a set of learning activities devoted to the improvement of their mastery level on this outcome in an autonomous way and at their own pace. To support the development of this methodology and to facilitate its application, all learning objects and tools have been deployed into the official PIMECOE's website, where all participants of this learnign experience meet each other.

Therefore, in this article we present the PIMECOE's oficial website:
1) as a centralised repository of the technological tools generated by the project,
2) as a medium of support for the development of the methodology, and
3) as a medium of dissemination of project's outcome

Keywords:
