Digital Platform for the Assessment of Competences (D-PAC)

D-PAC was a four year IWT-SBO funded research project. Project partners were University of Antwerp, Ghent University and iMinds (now: imec). During this project, the merits of comparative judgement for the assessment of competencies were investigated. Research provided detailed insights into the reliability, validity and efficiency of the method. Moreover, feedback opportunities towards assessees and organisations were explored. In total, the award-winning D-PAC project will result in four doctoral dissertations.
