Abstract :
Under the auspices of the most recent education legislation, teachers are urged to apply competence-based evaluation to monitor students´ progress towards the effective acquisition of key competences. As students have different learning needs and develop key competences at their own pace, we propose an alternative approach that would help teachers register students´ tasks and evaluate them against such competences within an eportfolio that in turn forms part of an e-learning platform. In addition to this evaluation, the integration of support tasks adapted to each student´s needs could encourage acquisition and independent learning.
