Abstract

Abstract– This paper presents the design and evaluation of a tool developed in Microsoft ExcelTM to provide immediate feedback to students of the ITC (Computer Technology Engineer) career courses. This tool automatically corrects each item presented on the sheet, allowing students to instantly know if the result is correct or not. This approach not only accelerates the learning process, but also fosters the autonomy and responsibility of the student to correct their mistakes in real time. The tool is called Davalos Magic Box or Davabox.
