Abstract

This paper describes a computer assisted assessment (CAA) case study within the context of an adult school for lifelong learners. The case study shows how to apply eQuestionnaires in competence oriented scenarios, especially for self-assessment activities (where learners have to know their proficiency level in order to further develop a competence) and for embedded-assessment activities (where an eQuestionnaire is contained in the flow of learning activities and is used to promote formative assessment). The assessment specification IMS Question & Test Interoperability (QTI) v2.1 has been used to create the eQuestionnaires. Thanks to the characteristics of the QTI v2.1 compliant tools used during the experience, a competence oriented assessment scenario has been successfully carried out.
