Feature description: Build on the keywords in 1.6 to provide metadata/outcomes/competencies for all activities and courses, linkable to standard lists of metadata such as State-based learning outomes and curricula.
In short it works like this:
- The admin for the site imports (or types!) a long list of short text statements (outcomes or metadata). These are like the "official" tags that we have now in blogs. Let's call it list A.
- Teachers can choose a subset of list A to apply to their course. The course is now tagged with metadata representing the outcomes of that course (list B)
- Teachers can choose a subset of list B for each activity in Moodle (list C, D, E etc).
- Teachers can (at course level) generate a report showing the overall coverage of list B among all the activities. This way it's easy to see if a particular outcome has been forgotten or not covered well enough. It also forces the teacher to think hard about course design, which is a good thing.
- When students complete a given course, the outcomes for that course are recorded against the user's name. This allows:
- reporting by student of which outcomes they have completed
- reporting for students about which outcomes they are yet to achieve
- smart course selection (find me a course to teach me "xxxxx")
- reporting for admins about all students on the system and where they are up to.
