Abstract

Competence-based Learning has become more and more popular in the last few years and some researchers have claimed that formative assessment should be followed to improve the learning processes. In order to achieve the mastery of competencies, many lecturers have been required to adopt various and diverse applications in their courses to work on those competences. The use of several applications brings new challenges, as the information of the learning processes is distributed among these systems and getting a global picture of the evolution becomes much harder. Therefore, systems that enable gathering and unifying formative assessment information coming from various sources in order to extract significant information about the global learning process are needed. In this paper, we present a system called COBLE (Competence-Based Learning Environment) that supports Competence-based Learning and combines Visual Learning Analytics and recommendation aspects in order to promote the students' and lecturers' self-reflection about the learning and teaching processes. COBLE supports data from different sources to be integrated, providing the users with the complete report of what is going on in their courses.
