SINCOE is about developing innovation competences in online education. Students do not always come together in face-to-face situations. Some learning groups only know each other through online meetings or hybrid courses. The development of competences makes it necessary to start with a differentiated and valid assessment of one’s own competences. Only those who know their strengths can develop them in a targeted manner.  But for peer assessment of innovation competence or for assessment by teachers in the online setting is lacking a satisfactory level of behavioural data. In the SINCOE project, we therefore assess the individual level of innovation competence via self-assessment.

In order to achieve valid and differentiated results with self-assessment as well, the SINCOE training was developed and afterwards tested in different learning settings.

Those who have completed the training know what is meant by innovation and innovation competence, they can describe the dimensions of innovation competence and thus familiarise themselves with the SINCOE@ assessment tool.

The training also raises awareness of biases that can distort a self-assessment of one’s own competences and provides advice on how to avoid them.

Explanatory videos, expert interviews and video scenes from everyday life with small tasks and games illustrate why innovation competence is important, how students can determine how innovative they are and how they can avoid biases in self-assessment.
