In this article, we present a teaching methodology structured in a combination of online peer assessment and scoring rubric techniques with the objective of allowing students to follow and evaluate their peers work, attempting to find a more favorable educational environment focused on the development of written communication skills. The methodology was applied in an undergraduate course and the students’ assignment was evaluated by a specialist and the educational quality of the teaching process was measured by means of the multidimensional evaluation instrument of education known as "Students’ Evaluation of Educational Quality" (SEEQ). The results obtained have been promising in two aspects: by influencing the students to produce better technical reports as learning outcomes in contrast to tradicional methodology (teacher’s point of view); have produced a statistically significant and more uniform improvement in the students’ perception of the educational quality used in the course (students’ point of view).
