| − | =Overview=
| + | For the API see: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/index.php?title=Competency_API |
| − | To support the range of different types of competency frameworks used by organisations, competencies in Moodle 2.0 needs to expand on the 1.9 outcomes architecture.

| − | ==Goals==
| + | 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. |

| |
| − | | |
| − | ==General requirements==
| |
| − | # We'll need to access and use the existing site-wide Outcomes [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Grades#grade_outcomes Outcomes tables]
| |
| − | # We'll need to use the tables that indicate completion status for courses (these are not yet in place) [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Course_completion Course Completion]
| |
| − | # We need to get aggregate information about the course outcomes and aggregate grades for each user from the gradebook API
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Definitions==
| |
| − | '''Scale''': A way to measure a competency using descriptors and/or numerical '''scale values'''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example scales using descriptors values:
| |
| − | "Below average, Average, Above average"
| |
| − | "Not competent, Competent"
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example scales using numerical values:
| |
| − | "1, 2, 3, 4, 5"
| |
| − | "0, 100"
| |
| − | "0.0, 0.5, 1.0"
| |
| − | "0, 500, 1000"
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example scales using descriptors and numerical values:
| |
| − | "Poor [1], Below average [2], Average [3], Above average [4], Excellent [5]"
| |
| − | "Not yet competent [0], Competent [100]"
| |
| − | "Not yet competent [0.0], Not yet performing [0.5], Competent [1.0]"
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Competency''': A measurable knowledge, skill, ability, attitude or other learning-related characteristic which a student may have. Competencies can be organised into a hierarchy (i.e., category-based), folksonomy (tag-based), or a hybrid of both.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example hierarchy of competencies:
| |
| − | top-level competency: "Literacy"
| |
| − | -> child competency: "Reading Comprehension"
| |
| − | -> child competency: "Responding to Text"
| |
| − | -> child competency: "Initial Understanding of Literary Text"
| |
| − | -> child competency: "Demonstrate initial understanding of elements of literary texts (including text read aloud, reading independently"
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Competency evidence type''': A form of evidence that can be accepted as evidence that a competency has been achieved. Examples:
| |
| − | Activity grade
| |
| − | Activity completion
| |
| − | Activity outcome
| |
| − | Course completion
| |
| − | Course grade
| |
| − | Course outcome
| |
| − | Question results
| |
| − | File (diploma)
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Competency evidence''': A competency can be measured by one or more competency evidence types. Evidence can be stated to include the evidence type, evidence date, and measured value. Examples:
| |
| − | "Quiz - 4:00pm May 28, 2009 - Grade 90% out of 100%"
| |
| − | "Certificate - Public Speaking Institute - 4:00pm May 28, 2009 - Passed."
| |
| − | "File - College Diploma - 4:00pm May 28, 2009 - Bachelor of Science Computer Science"
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Expected proficiency level''': The expected (or required) rating (based on a scale descriptor or numerical value) for a competency. Examples:
| |
| − | "Average"
| |
| − | "5"
| |
| − | "50%"
| |
| − | "Passed"
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Measured proficiency level''': A user's observed, scored, reported proficiency level for a competency.
| |
| − | "Above average"
| |
| − | "8"
| |
| − | "80%"
| |
| − | "Passed"
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Competency weighting''': Child competencies can be assigned weights which can be used for aggregating either sums or averages of child competencies. Examples:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Example with percentage weights
| |
| − | -> top-level competency: "Communication"
| |
| − | -> child competency: "Written Communication" : weight: 60%
| |
| − | -> child competency: "Oral Communication" : weight: 40%
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Example frameworks==

| − | '''Example 1:''' Competency hierarchy with activity outcomes as evidence
| |
| − | | |
| − | The example data below is based roughly on the [http://education.vermont.gov/ Department of Education for the State of Vermont]'s [http://education.vermont.gov/new/html/pgm_curriculum/literacy/gle.html Grade 1 Expectations for Literacy] for Reading.

| |
| − | ==Site settings==
| |
| − | [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Conditional_activities#Completion_tracking_2 Activity Completion] provides an "Enable outcomes" setting (found in the Site Administration block's Advanced features / optional subsystems settings page). We need to keep outcomes, however we will need to add competencies.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Proposed changes:'''
| |
| − | * Create a new setting named "Enable competencies" (the setting will allow competencies to be defined)

| − | ===scale===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The scale feature introduced in Moodle 1.9 needs to be expanded to provide numerical equivalents for each scale value. We'll need to create a new table 'scale_values' that includes a foreign key of the 'scale' table, and remove the 'scale' field from the 'scale' table. Here is how the modified 'scale' table will look:

| |
| − | * Course outcome

| − | | |
| − | We need to be able to import and export data related to competencies.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Competency framework import/export'''
| |
| − | A competency framework should be able to be exported using an appropriate format in either xml and csv file format. There are some standards on exchanging competencies including:
| |
| − | * IEEE P1484.20.1 Standard on Reusable Competency Definitions and the IEEE Draft Standard on Simple Reusable Competency Map
| |
| − | * ISO/IEC PDTR 24763 Conceptual Reference Model for Competencies and Related Objects
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Competency evidence import/export'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are a variety of standards for exchanging competencies evidence including:
| |
| − | * IMS Reusable Definition of Competency or Educational Objectives Spec (RDCEO)
| |
| − | * IMS Learner Information Package Spec (LIP)
| |
| − | * HR-XML Competencies (Measurable Characteristics) Recommendation, 2007 April 15
