Abstract
The Albanian lecturer’s staff of Private and State Universities can vary enormously in their ability to teach effectively in years. European University of Tirana (Private University), has implemented many methods to measure this variation but one commonly used method is seen from UET Management staff as the most effective ones in using students’ evaluation of lecturers’ performance. For many decades, the outcome of students’ evaluation of teaching performance is seen from UET Management as an important tool to measure the effectiveness of teaching quality, at the beginning this procedure was in hard copy evaluation process and since the last 2 years it was developed the lecturer online evaluation system, developed locally with a dedicated bachelor students team from economic of informatics profile. UET lecturers manage their day to day operation in their classrooms, and they need to know whether the implementation of their good effective teaching initiatives and strategies used are well received by their bachelor or master students. UET management and academic staff used the most suitable method to measure teaching effectiveness the students’ evaluation of lecturers’ performance, which is often carried out at the end of each semester of the actual academic year of the European University of Tirana. At the end of this analyses the final report will reflect on qualities associated with good teaching such as lecturers’ knowledge, the most updated syllabuses and texts used for teaching, better class management and course organization. The development of this application is done based on the platform of Apache/MySQl/PHP (AMP). The whole platform is working actually on the UET Intranet environment (first phase) and will be developed the second version of this application (second phase), where the application will be developed from master students of Applied Informatics Profile, Economic and Information Technology Faculty, European University of Tirana, where from all students of UET 3 faculties will be accessed and fulfilled online from their home the evaluation application form.

Highlights
Easier to grow as the needs from university come and grow time by time E-Evaluation (UET lecturing performance evaluation) web application is the first web application designed for European University of Tirana, where the outcome of students’ evaluation of teaching performance is seen from UET Management as an important tool to measure the effectiveness of teaching quality of all lecturer and seminars teaching at the 3 faculties of UET[1, 2 and 3]
What are the students’ perceptions towards the bachelor and master courses? a) Mandatory Literature is up-to-date? b) The material that is presented to the students by the lecturer is well organized? c) Research papers and articles recommended to be used by students are up-to-date? d) The recommended literature helps you to understand and get more of the content? e) Audio visual materials, case studies, etc... used during the lectures are available to the better understanding of the subject?
With the initiative of the Information Technology, Math and Statistics Department, Economic and Information Technology Faculty, European University of Tirana and full support of Rector, Vice Rectors and Deans of three faculties of European University of Tirana it was established a dedicated team for the analyses, design and implementation of E-UET Lecturer on-line evaluation web application
Summary
Development, implementation and usage of web applications are having a great popularity even due to the ability of updating and maintaining web applications without distributing and installing software on potentially 1500-5000 student’s computers of European University of Tirana for the whole set of applications developed for UET students’ needs and UET Managerial staff needs.Web-based applications are: • easier to be developed from the development teams • more useful for your users, userfriendly applications • easier to install and maintain and keep secure the whole application already developed • easier to grow as the needs from university come and grow time by time E-Evaluation (UET lecturing performance evaluation) web application is the first web application designed for European University of Tirana, where the outcome of students’ evaluation of teaching performance is seen from UET Management as an important tool to measure the effectiveness of teaching quality of all lecturer and seminars teaching at the 3 faculties of UET[1, 2 and 3]. This process, development of E-Evaluation (UET lecturing performance evaluation) web application is one of the biggest ICT Projects (as per UET ICT strategy 2013-2016) designed to be implemented on three phases of the project consisting of: • 1st Phase: Analyses, Design/Development, Test and Fully Live of the application on the Intranet Environment of UET. Bachelor Students involved at this process. • 2nd Phase: Analyses, Design/Development, Test and Fully Live of the application on the Internet where all students bachelor and master level will receive an email with the proper link where to proceed with their lecturer evaluation process. Master Students involved at this process. • 3rd Phase: adding other evaluation processes to the main application: Evaluation of Secretary and Coordinators Other evaluation forms UET Administrative/Management staff uses for measuring the performance of their lecturer/seminars staff during the academic years. We aim to present a mostly complete view of our application focusing especially on the design process and the pre-analyses done before arriving to the needs of this development.
