Abstract: SACA is a collaborative learning system based on agent model in which learners collaborate to learn the concepts` knowledge of the matter to be taught and to resolve the assessment exercises. In this article, we are interested in the way to assess the acquisition of knowledge by learners. The assessment process is based on the use of a set of assessment parameters that can be defined according to learning context (University, secondary school, etc.) and learner`s knowledge levels (beginner, intermediate and advanced). The defined parameters are updated by the teacher who creates the pedagogical content (concepts and exercises). They concern the models of exercises, the examination time, the presentation�s sequences of exercises, etc. In SACA, different categories of learners (students, workers, etc.) can collaborate for resolving individual or collaborative exercises. We present the results of the first experiment done at Guelma University.
