Résumé : Knowledge assessment should be a central component in any computerized course. Procedures for knowledge assessment have been designed in the theoretical setting of knowledge spaces and learning spaces. They allow for a better outcome than just a crude number, giving deeper information on what is mastered together with advices for further study. Knowledge space theory thus offers a multidimensional extension of classical test theory. The present article introduces knowledge spaces under their combinatorial aspects, while the article Markov Processes in Learning Spaces describes the probabilistic aspects and the related assessment procedures.
