Abstract
This work concerns modelling competence in mathematics in e-learning environment. Competence is something complex, which goes further the cognitive level, but involves meta-cognitive and non-cognitive factors. Anyway it requires the students to master knowledge and skills, at first, and some measurable abilities, defined as competencies. We present a model that, exploiting the innovative technological features of the platform IWT, aims at defining a personalised learning experience allowing the students to build up their competence in mathematics.
