Abstract

This work is performed in the scope of the TeSLA (An Adaptive Trust-based e-assessment System for Learning) project with the aim to investigate existing problems and solutions in e-assessment implemented in the engineering education, to present an overview of the best existing practice and to propose a blended assessment model consisting of offline and online assessment forms. The research outcomes are expected to facilitate the implementation of an e-assessment procedure in the Technical University of Sofia.
