The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new approach for assessing learning outcomes from collaborative work in 3D virtual environments. It represents a novel computational framework that improves recording and observing collaborative activities between students to evaluate learning outcomes. The framework includes a virtual observation model that maps observing learners in classrooms with observing and assessing the students in 3D spaces. This can be accomplished by applying a mechanism that combines natural agents and software agents to support collecting learning evidences from virtual activities and simulate the educators’ observation(s). Such a novel framework will solve issues that could develop from evaluating students’ performance, interaction, skill and knowledge in collaborative virtual learning environments.
