Paper Abstract:	A set of interrelated models is developed for the design and operation of an interactive learning assessment system. The proposed design methodology seeks for a balance between e-assessment content and activities standardization and pedagogical evaluation approaches diversity. The presented paper investigates an approach extending e-assessments interoperability adding to d ata structuring two new features: binding data locally with some functionality and developing a learning assessment scenario at a global level. The new enhancements are based on learning services abstraction. The main point is to have a standardized assessment content, which is handled trough an assessment scenario in a more or less generic mode of operation. A teacher proprietary evaluation strategy is considered as an instant of a generic assessment scenario. Two bindings for the assessment model have been explored – Python and Ch language environments. The both are implemented as interpreters and support an extended object-oriented paradigm. An experimental assessment environment – Virtual Assessment Blended Objects – has been designed and experimented.
