Abstract

This paper uses a project-based learning methodology in higher education to analyse its relation to a theoretical framework of competency. Based on this analysis, we propose a set of technological tools to support the development of competency at the university level as well as a set of indicators to systematize the assessment process. Finally, indicators are related to data that can be obtained from these technological tools. This is the basis for additional work on learning analytics that is used to support the assessment of a project-based learning approach.
