Abstract
Assessing the acquired competencies during a learning activity as well as the possibility of simulating difficult situations or scenarios are important challenges in learning management. The current uses of (semi) formal models representing the knowledge domain open the possibility of advanced techniques of simulation and monitoring. In this paper, we propose an assessment environment for model-based learning management that integrates simulation and monitoring facilities. In particular, we describe its architecture and main functionalities and its application inside an ongoing EU project. The proposed framework allows for user-friendly learning simulation with a strong support for collaboration and social interactions. Moreover, it monitors the learners’ behavior during simulation execution and it is able to compute the learning scores useful for the learner knowledge assessment.
