Sumario:An effective evaluation system should not be limited to measuring performance with numerical grades, but should take into account each student's starting point and progress. This research aims to explore the use of technological tools to implement formative assessment with self-assessment and peer assessment in a virtual learning environment. To do so, a mixed methodology is applied that includes case analysis and the design of an ad hoc questionnaire with a Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of 0.7. The Moodle virtual workshop is used to carry out a pre-experimental design (N=103). The results reveal an improvement in understanding of the topic and academic performance. In conclusion, an effective evaluation system is fundamental to academic success, with formative assessment being a viable alternative for improving learning and measuring the acquisition of competencies
