Recent Developments in Competence-based Knowledge Space Theory

A saying attributed to Kurt Lewin (1951) states ‘There is nothing so practical as a good theory.’ Accordingly, the theory and models outlined in Chapter 11 of this volume have many practical consequences and can be applied for instance in personalized competence assessment, individualized eTeaching and eLearning, and expert query. Furthermore, for practical reasons recent developments in Competence-based Knowledge Space Theory (CbKST) have to be taken into account.
