In fact, by using the LA functions it is possible to observe the activities carried<br>out by the students and to give them feedback.<br>From the analysis of the final questionnaires it emerges that students consider to be effective<br>the articulation of the Master, both in didactic and assessment aspects. Also the<br>analysis of the contributions in itinere and of the final test confirms how the planning<br>of the formative activities has been effective considering the quality of the papers.</p> ER -
