Approach based on the patterns for assessment of collaborative activities in e-learning

In this paper, we propose an approach based on the patterns designed to assessment of collaborative activities in e-learning. In fact, we used the design patterns in several levels of our approach in order to reach a solution that will define, model and execute of assessment scenarios. Then, through the experience accumulated in the modeling and execution levels of assessment processes, we can enrich the basis patterns to the upper level. Furthermore, in the literature, few methods are used for assessing the individual contribution of the learner in collective or collaborative work. Therefore, our proposal is based mainly around of this problematic, this allows us to lead a systematic approach to design assessment methods in e-learning for assessing individuals in the group or team and therefore this should lead to the assessment of group or team itself as a learning entity.
