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.
