Abstract:	In this paper, a Web-based system oriented toward students of surveying engineering and photogrammetry is presented. This application allows student self-evaluation of the calculations and problems involved in practical work. Students can evaluate their calculations before the final evaluation, minimizing the usual mistakes, primarily those of calculation errors. The evaluation of this system is based on the numbers and types of access to the system; the results of a satisfaction survey; and, primarily, a test of the proposed learning methodology. These results have demonstrated the viability of the tool developed in this project with regard to achieving the main objective, which consists of the students' self-evaluation of their calculations and assimilation of the causes of their mistakes. The system is therefore shown to reinforce and stimulate autonomous learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
