Abstract

This chapter presents a process-oriented approach to support assessment in learning networks. Assessment in its broadest sense can be conceived as the ‘systematic gathering of information and evidence about a person’s properties (qualifications), based on a process, a product or the progress of a person, for the purposes of certification, placement or diagnoses in formative and summative contexts’ (Joosten-ten Brinke et al. 2007). This definition includes classical assessment and complex assessment.
