An Integrated Model for E-assessment of Learning Experiences Enriched with Complex Learning Resources

The emergence of Web 2.0 and the influence of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have fostered e-learning to be more interactive, challenging, and situated. As a result, learners felt empowered when they are engaged in collaborative learning activities and self-directed learning. Given the different learning styles of students, educators are faced with the challenge of having to develop assessments which are required to appraise the students´ learning process. Therefore, assessment models of learning experiences enriched with complex learning resources such as: simulations, serious games, and collaborative and virtual experiences are required. In this paper, an Integrated Model for e-Assessment (IMA) of learning experiences enriched with such complex learning resources is proposed. Moreover, a bottom-up framework of how to use IMA is discussed. A case study of developed tool and experiment is shown to more explain the model and the framework.
