Adaptive Evaluation Based on

Abstract. The lifelong competence development and transfer of competencies acquisition is a tendency of global world and specifically for e-learning.. Generally, an instructional based-competence process consists in four single sub-processes, the competence definition, competence development, competence assessment process and certification. This paper presents a competence-based adaptive assessment process for judging competence of learners in the context of a virtual learning environment. The goal of our research is build repositories of items linked to competencies definitions and rules specifications in order to the generation of adaptive evaluation. Assessment process cover different evaluation types in the virtual learning environment, linking the repositories with the correct assessment engine tools. The approach provides more accurate estimations of student’s competencies level and a stronger relation between knowledge, activities, learning resources and type of evaluation tools, supporting in this way the automatic assessment and learning design generation. The process is supported by usage of educational standards and specifications and for an integral user modeling
