Popis: Blogs have lately become one of the most known Web 2.0 tools and a common form of expression for the users of the Internet. Conscious of this fact, teachers are currently using blogs as learning and teaching tools. The Bologna process has signified an important change in the education paradigm. Competency-based design and assessment is just one of the aspects that has changed and is perhaps one of the most critical ones. However, are our students aware of its competencies acquisition? Do it actually have a bearing on their own learning process? For all these reasons, a research group led by the University of Barcelona proposes to carry out a project called Formative competency-based assessment through blogs. This project consists in the design, implementation and evaluation of a blog-based model for student assessment based on competencies.
