Interactive dialogues are key elements for designing authentic and motivating learning situations, and in combination with learning analysis they provide educators and users with the opportunity to track information related to professional competences, but mind-sets as well. This paper offers exemplary insights into the project NetEnquiry that is concerned with the development of an m-learning app which provides learners with complex learning scenarios. In these scenarios, we combine different approaches to scoring and assessment. A specialty of the assessment is that it adapts to scenario settings given by the lecturer, and runs mainly in stealth mode. These settings consider formal correctness, social and communicative skills, but also norms that influence whether a given answer is correct, or not. [For full proceedings, see ED571430.]
