==Introduction==
The outcomes and scales architecture introduced in Moodle 1.9 provide a solid foundation for competency management, particularly of course outcomes. To model the range of different types of competency frameworks used by organisations, Moodle 2.0's competency architecture needs to allow:


* Competencies to be independent of courses and activities. Some examples:
{{obsolete}}
** Completing three specific course fulfills one competency
<div class="alert alert-info">
** Providing electronic example (e.g., a scanned computer science diploma fulfills A-D competencies)
Competencies has been added as a feature for the 3.1 release. This specification is very old - a more up-to-date specification can be found here: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/index.php?title=Competency_Based_Education


* Competencies to be organised into frameworks on a site level in unlimited ways, allowing:
For the API see: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/index.php?title=Competency_API
** Taxonomies (i.e., categories)
** Folksonomies (i.e., tags)
** Hybrids of both


* Multiple competency frameworks in the same Moodle instance
Thankyou to the people who contributed to this earlier specification. This page has now been removed to prevent confusion with the newer specification/feature. You can view older versions of this page in the history.
* Competencies to rely on outcome types
</div>
* Competencies to be gained by various methods (or types of evidence):
 
** Achieving one or more outcomes in one or more courses
[[Category:Project]]
** Completing one or more courses (i.e., when completing course A, course B, and course C)
** Completing one or more activities (i.e., when completing activity x in course A and activity y in course B, and activity z in course C)
** Exceeding the aggregate result threshold for a question category within an evaluation (i.e., feedback using quiz)
** Exceeding the aggregate result threshold for a question category within an assessment (i.e., quiz)
** Electronic file (a diploma, external certification)
*** User file area (via the file API)
*** External repository (via the portfolio API)
*** ePortfolio (via the repository API)
** Comment / testimony / reference
* Competencies to be attached to standard/custom user profile fields (e.g., 'level' - "First year student", or 'major' - "English")
* Competencies to be tied an individual user (either by user profile field or by drag and drop)
* Expected "evidence" and "competency proficiency levels" to be defined for links between standard/custom user profile field items and a competencies for each evidence type:
** Outcome level (i.e., scale value)
** A course's standard course completion criteria
** A course's standard course activity criteria
** Custom course completion criteria
** Custom activity completion criteria
** Aggregate result threshold for a question category
** Required electronic file
* Competencies to allow one or more types of evidence
* Custom metadata to be easily attached to competencies and standard/custom user profile fields items
