Abstract

Until now most approaches in technology enhanced learning that take into account prior learning stem from learner modeling. In the context of the TENCompetence project we are exploring alternatives to this top down approach for Prior Learning Assessment. We explore Latent Semantic Analysis as a technique to assess prior learning by correlating documents in a learner portfolio with documents in target learning activities.
