Abstract

This paper presents Tutor, a web-based educational support system for university-related teaching, learning and academic data management. It explains the most relevant aspects of its design (e.g. underlying role-based model and architecture) and the main operations that each type of user can perform in the system. It also analyzes the answers given to the questionnaire completed by the students in order to discover what they thought of the system.
