Abstract
This chapter proposes the use of a communicational approach to rethink conceptual and methodological aspects of learning assessment in the context of interactive online information and communication technologies. The approach makes use of the digital online portfolio interface together with cognitive mapping techniques (mind maps and concept maps) as devices for assessing learning in online education. The examples described in the text are the result of pedagogical practice and research undertaken by the authors.

Dynamic Reconstruction of Concept Maps
A method of document production defined by J. Novak in the second half of the 20th century and based on the expression of assertions. These assertions are transformed into constructions of the entity/relation type, in a graphical form that recalls graph theory, in which the nodes are the concept elements (grammatically, nouns, and adjectives), the arcs are the relations (grammatically, verbs, and adverbs), and both graphical symbols are always accompanied by a label that displays their contents.
