    This paper describes the experience of research in teaching developed to improve motivation, interest and learning of students enrolled in "Introduction to Economics" for the first year in the Business Administration Degree at the University of Seville (Spain). This experience was about establishing a system of continuous assessment using the interactive response Educlick software. The use of this instrument has allowed not only the introduction of a periodic surveillance testing, but also the monitoring of student attendance and the definition of their level of participation.The results obtained are measured with regard to three learning parameters: class attendance (the use of a continuous assessment method generally improved class attendance), academic performance (the pass rate of the total number of students was 10 percentage points higher than those that went through the traditional final examination), and assessment of the new methodology (the students surveyed mostly preferred the electronic control response system).
