This document proposes an intelligent e-assessment model aimed at addressing school failure through personalized evaluation activities, leveraging an ontological framework. The model consists of three ontologies that represent domain knowledge, cognitive styles, and assessment activities, accompanied by inference rules for recommending tailored activities. The research is based on fieldwork with engineering students from the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana in Mexico.

2. This paper focuses on a proposal for intelligent e-assessment, it goal is to propose
an alternative solution to the problem of school failure, attention to addressing
diversity from the perspective of the evaluation as the culmination of reprobation.
Intelligent e-assessment using the Ontological Model for Personalizing Assessment
Activities (OMPAA). The model integrates of three ontologies that can represent
discipline domain knowledge, cognitive style and evaluation activities, as well as a
set of inference rules that allow to make a recommendation of activities type that
develop the necessary skills for the student to cover course objectives. The model
is the result of fieldwork conducted with engineering students from the
Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana- Atzcapotzalco.
