Towards a Multistep Method for Assessment in e-Learning of Emerging Technologies

摘要

In the Fourth Industrial Revolution some important leading technologiesare identified as emerging technologies with unknown in advance potential risks.Emphasized is the need for new approaches and solutions for forming of increasedinformation awareness, knowledge and competencies in the present and futuregenerations to use the possibilities of Industry 4.0 for technological breakthroughs.A method for evaluation and prognosis of the knowledge, skills and competencies ofthe students in the virtual education space is proposed in the form of a five-stepprocess. The method can be adapted to new technologies and applications. Researchand analysis of the method are carried out in the academic course ‘ArtificialIntelligence’ at the Burgas Free University with the application of the instruments ofthe Orange system for experimentation and inference.
