An Innovative Moodle Final Project Management Module for Bachelor and Master´s Studies

Bachelor and master´s qualifications include assignments that involve the preparation of final projects. Their underlying pedagogical model is often based on final or end-of-course projects, which carry a high number of ECTS credits (12 or more), to be completed over one semester. Each project, which simulates a real life professional situation, is completed by an individual student or a group of students in their last year of a university graduate or post-graduate course, in the case of engineering and architecture degrees. The special and complex perculiarities of these atypical assignments mean that they are not easily adapted to a virtual learning environment. This paper defines a management process for such projects and introduces a Moodle 1.9 module for its implementation.
