【 摘 要 】

This  paper  presents  a  software  tool designed  to  enhance  the  tutoring assistance in the context of the European Higher  Education  Area  as  a  way  to improve the service offered to students in their learning process. This tool, named TutorialAction, allows to the students the online booking of face-to-face tutoring with their teachers, and allows to these teachers  the  management  of  tutoring schedules and registration of the issues addressed  in  each  tutoring  session. The  research  conducted  in  this  work has aimed to determine the usefulness of the developed tool for the student attendance  at  tutoring.  The  sample analysed corresponds to grade students in  Software  Engineering  Degree  from the  Technical  University  of  Madrid. The  instruments  used  in  the  research have included a questionnaire to know the opinion of the students who have composed   the   sample.   The   obtained results indicate a greater attendance at tutoring sessions in the students under study, and a positive perception of the designed tool used and the influence that these kinds of tools can have on the academic  performance.  These  results suggest that the use of tools designed to facilitate student attendance at tutoring can  contribute  significantly  to  the student performance in their learning processes and the improvement of the service offered by the University.
