The paper presents a novel approach regarding adaptive knowledge assessment using concept maps. Adaptive knowledge assessment adapts assessment tasks to the ability and knowledge level of a particular learner and makes a corresponding system more powerful and valuable. The already developed prototype of an intelligent knowledge assessment system based on multiagent paradigm and concept maps is described, but mainly the paper focuses on the support of adaptive assessment regarding the further enhancement of the system.
