{{Moodle 2.0}}<p class="note">'''Note''': This page outlines ideas for the Competencies feature planned for Moodle 2.0. It's a ''specification under construction''! If you have any comments or suggestions, please add them to the [[Development talk:Progress tracking|page comments]].''</p>


* '''PROJECT STATE: Proposal'''
{{obsolete}}
* '''MAIN TRACKER ISSUE''':  
<div class="alert alert-info">
* '''DISCUSSION''': Not yet announced on Moodle.org
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
* '''COMMENTS''': [[Development_talk:Competencies]]
* '''AUTHOR''': [[User:Jonathan Newman|Jonathan Newman]] with help from [[Matt Clarkson|Matt Clarkson]] and others


=Overview=
For the API see: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/index.php?title=Competency_API
To model the range of different types of competency frameworks used by organisations, competencies in Moodle 2.0 needs to go further than the 1.9 outcomes architecture allows.


==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.
# Measured amount of abstraction
</div>
#* Allow "admins" to specify the type of hierarchy (hierarchy, tags, or hybrid)
#* Allow "admins" to define terms to describe the structure
#* Allow "admins" to specify parent-child and relations between terms
#* Allow "admins" to create as many levels as necessary
#* Allow "admins" to name/describe a level with custom fields to meta data for nodes at the level
# Easy navigation
#* Allow "admins" to view the competency structure and terms
#* Allow "admins" to easily add new competency terms and meta-data
# Visibility within courses
#* Allow "course creators" to add competencies to a course (much the same way outcomes can be added to a course in 1.9)
# Portability
#* Allow "admins" to export competency terms and structure in some easily understood format
#* Allow "admins" to import competencies from another Moodle instance
#* Allow "admins" to setup a sync of competencies with external systems
# Assigning evidence
#* Allow "admins" to assign to a competency:
#** One or more course outcomes from one or more courses
#** One or more course completions (e.g., when completing course A, course B, and course C)
#** One or more activity completions (e.g., when completing activity x in course A and activity y in course B, and activity z in course C)
#** An aggregate result threshold for a question category (i.e., an evaluation or assessment using mod/quiz, mod/scorm, etc)
#** Electronic evidence (e.g., a file containing a diploma, certificate, report)
#** Observation (e.g., a comment / testimony / reference)
# Specifying proficiency levels
#* Allow "admins" to assign to a competency:
#** A proficiency level (i.e., competency scale value)
#** Existing course completion criteria for a course
#** Existing activity completion criteria for an activity
#** Alternative course completion criteria
#** Alternative activity completion criteria
#** Aggregate result threshold for a question category
# Specifying weights
#* Allow "admins" to assign to a weights to each competency evidence or competency term
# Scalability
# Extensibility
 
==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. Examples:
"Below average, Average, Above average"
"Not competent, Competent"
 
'''Competency term''': A competency category or tag used for organising one or more competencies in a hierarchy or taxonomy. Examples:
top-level term: "Competency Area" (e.g., "Reading Comprehension")
    -> child term: "Competency" ("Responding to Text")
                -> child term: "Sub-competency" ("Initial Understanding of Literary Text")
                              -> child term: "Descriptor" ("Demonstrate initial understanding of elements of literary texts (including text read aloud, reading independently")
 
'''Competency''': A measurable knowledge, skill, ability, attitude or other learning-related characteristic which a student may have. A competency may be associated with one or more competency terms. Examples that could be attached to the example "Descriptor" term above:
"Identifying characters in a story"
"Retelling the beginning, middle, and end of a story"
"Responding to simple questions about a book's content"
 
'''Competency evidence type''': A form of evidence that can be accepted as evidence that a competency has been achieved. Examples:
Observation
Quiz grade
Course completion
Activity completion
Certificate
Evaluation 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:
"Observation - Teacher - Above average - 4:00pm May 28, 2009"
"Observation - Spanish Language Proficiency Interview - 4:00pm May 28, 2009 - Rating 4 out of 5"
"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 required rating (based on a scale) or grade 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 aggregated. Examples:
"Communication"
    -> child "Written Communication - weight: 60/100"
    -> child "Oral Communication - weight: 40/100"
 
=User interface=
'''Individual learning plan'''
# Each user can have a set of either courses to be completed, competencies to be achieved, or a mixture of both. These comprise a user's individual learning plan (IDP).
# Each user's IDP will show:
## Completed courses
## Progress toward courses which are not yet complete. This would be similar to view of the course progress completion report for the user across the incomplete courses.
## Competencies achieved. This will include the competency terms and meta data made visible to the user, as well as the evidence info (type, date, ratings and grades).
## Competencies not yet achieved. This will also include the competency terms, meta data made available to the user, as well as the expected proficiency levels for each competency.
# Each user can see a list of all his/her courses and competencies as a "transcript" or "record of learning."

=Plugin architecture=
'''Competency evidence type plugins'''
 
Each type of evidence will need its own methods for interacting with the competency architecture and will need to interact via a base competency evidence API. Below are the item types.
 
* Observation
* Course completion
* Course grade
* Activity completion
* Activity module grade
* File
 
'''Report plugins'''
 
Similar to the gradebook, we need to allow development of report plugins for competencies.
 
'''Import/Export plugins'''
 
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
 
IMS RDCEO and LIP recommend formats as shown in the examples below (more [http://www.imsglobal.org/competencies/index.html IMS RDCEO here] and [http://www.imsglobal.org/profiles/index.html IMS LIP home]). Special thanks to Sarveswaran Kengatharaiyer (GSOC 2008 student for the Moodle Progress Tracker project) who developed these examples.

HR-XML recommends a format like shown below in an example which uses recursive competencies (more [http://ns.hr-xml.org/2_5/HR-XML-2_5/CPO/Competencies.html#_Toc127531664 here]).
<Competency name="Communication Skills">
      <Competency name="Written Communication Skills">
            <CompetencyEvidence name="WRITTENTEST1-A" dateOfIncident="1995-01-01" lastUsed="2000-01-01">
                    <NumericValue minValue="3" maxValue="5" description="SEP-equivalent Skill-Level Range">5</NumericValue>
            </CompetencyEvidence>
            <CompetencyWeight>
                    <NumericValue minValue="0" maxValue="100">35</NumericValue>
            </CompetencyWeight>
      </Competency>
      <Competency name="Oral Communication Skills">
            <CompetencyEvidence name="ManagerObservation" dateOfIncident="1996-01-01" lastUsed="2000-01-01">
                    <NumericValue minValue="1" maxValue="5" description="Company XYZ Skill Range">5</NumericValue>
            </CompetencyEvidence>
            <CompetencyWeight>
                    <NumericValue minValue="0" maxValue="100">65</NumericValue>
            </CompetencyWeight>
      </Competency>
</Competency>
 
=Upgrade from 1.9=
The outcomes and scales architecture introduced in Moodle 1.9 provide a basic foundation for competency management. One or more scales can be defined on a site-level, and custom scales can be defined at the course level. Outcomes can be defined at a site-level as standard outcomes, and standard outcomes can be added into courses. Custom outcomes can also be created within courses. Each outcome is linked to an activity via the settings page or via the controls for an existing outcome on the grader report page.
 
 
'''grade_outcomes - site-wide outcomes'''
 
Site wide outcomes will need to be imported into the competency_terms table.

=Ideas for the future=
# Due dates for course completions and outcome completions can be assigned in an individual user's learning plan.
# A comment can be added to a user's learning plan item when a course or outcome is manually added or removed from it.
# Allowing competencies to be attached to an individual user (either by user profile field or by drag and drop).

Warning: This page is no longer in use. The information contained on the page should NOT be seen as relevant or reliable.

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

For the API see: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/index.php?title=Competency_API

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.
