ABSTRACT
Applying the concepts of "quality" and "innovation" in daily teaching is not an easy task. In this paper a Web tool to support the use of a code of good teaching practice based on quality and innovation is presented. The code has been applied during several years in Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering, but the platform could be used in other areas of Engineering. It could also been adapted for using in any Higher Education degree.
