Concept of Competency Examination System in Virtual Laboratory Environment

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 5802))

Abstract

In the article authors consider applying the concept of a virtual laboratory to creating intelligent systems of competency examination. Competences make up the base for building qualifications on the basis of transferring theoretical and procedural knowledge. Three types of virtual laboratories are distinguished regarding their purpose. Additionally, for a virtual laboratory working at the level of competences, a procedure for competency examination was proposed.
