Resumen

The change to the virtual study modality brought with it new opportunities for teaching and evaluation that were not contemplated in face-to-face learning. The assessment was one of the aspects that changed the most, and although learning platforms such as Moodle or Blackboard provide teachers with a variety of assessment tools, these are sometimes insufficient, particularly in statistics and mathematics courses. This is the reason why the teachers at Universidad Católica de Santa María were provided with the Wiris tool, which consists of a system that goes beyond the usual types of questions, adding functionalities for evaluation and feedback. Considering the background, this article seeks to describe the experience of the teachers with the implementation of Wiris, in addition to discussing some of its advantages and disadvantages, and commenting on the contribution it makes to the formative evaluation.
