  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies ((SIST,volume 59))

Abstract

In this paper the problem of assessment of interdisciplinary and social and personal learning outcomes is covered. The teaching and assessment tools are reviewed. The self, peer and expert assessment methods are described. The approach of assessment learning outcomes in collaborative project-based learning is proposed. This approach uses students’ behavior analysis to increase grade reliability and validity. The method allows determine irresponsible students and assign low final grade to them. The tool for carrying out collaborative project-based learning is developed. It is based on the XBlock SDK of Open edX platform.
