Supporting Self-Reflection through Presenting Visual Feedback of Adaptive Assessment and Self-Evaluation Tools

Two tools for skill assessment are presented in this paper. First the Adaptive Assessment Tool provides an efficient way for testing the learner's knowledge by posing questions. Second the Self-Evaluation Tool provides a method to assess the learner's knowledge by defining skills based on a controlled vocabulary. In both cases the result is a set of skills which is visualised by the Learner Knowledge Presenter Tool by rendering acquired skills on a skill map. These tools are supposed not only to test the learner's knowledge but also to stimulate self-reflection on what a learner has learned. The presented approach advances traditional testing, since it stimulates selfreflection during the assessment process.
