Abstract :
This paper describes competence based approach to complete learning process. The learning process is fully web-based and can be completed without attending campus. It consists of small exercises and lab experiments. Automatic evaluation by stimulating student answering process is explained. Labs are supported by HomeLabKit, small box that contains everything needed to perform lab tasks and can be lent from university. After two years of using competence-based learning in real learning, a lot of information has been collected that can now be analyzed.
