Abstract: Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of a longitudinal research aiming at defining the adult learner’s self-assessment process in a competency-based online learning environment. It also presents the strategy unfolded to promote and support the adult’s judgment over his (her) own competency assessment. This research is part of a Canadian project called Learning Object Repository Network (LORNET). After a brief description of the research problem and the conceptual framework, a model of the self-assessment process is described as well as the prototype developed to support the learner. Finally, a conclusion and recommendations for further research are given.
