Introduction of Learning Activities´ Agendas in First-Year Degree Studies

The introduction of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) has fostered a number of changes in the way courses are given in the university. In this paper we propose to present subjectpsilas syllabuses as learning activitiespsila agendas to students. Hence, they not only grasp course programs easier but are more aware of their own work, which is essential to learning evaluation within ECTS. Learning agendas have been used in a Computer Fundamentals course within Computer Science degree since year 2006/07. Results show that students consult them regularly and that overall academic yield have been progressively increasing.
