Abstract

The authors present an approach for implementing a system for the assessment of medical competences using a haptic simulation device. Based on Competence based Knowledge Space Theory (CbKST), information on the learners' competences is gathered from different sources (test questions, data from the simulator, and supervising experts' assessments). The envisaged architecture consists of three core modules, an LMS (Moodle) containing user model and content objects and realising the interface between system and user, a simulator interface as an own service connecting the LMS to the (external) simulator system, and a CbKST service offering the assessment logic and visualisations of the assessment result for learner and teacher.
