 How can I use competencies in my Moodle? A competency is a statement of what a learner can do. Competencies can be used for assessment in Moodle. A competency framework is a set of connected competencies. Competencies are enabled by default, but as administrator you can disable them from site administration, competencies, competency settings. You can import ready-made competency frameworks as text files from import competency frameworks or you can manually create one from competency frameworks. Here you'll also see a link to some existing competency frameworks which might be useful. Click Add New Competency Framework to create a new one. The name, ID number and scale are required. Use the default competency scale if you're not sure and click Configure Scale and set the defaults to Not competent. Read the documentation for more information. You can now manually type in competencies. Teachers add competencies to their course from the link in the navigation drawer but it's important to realise that competencies don't have to be restricted to just one single course. Learning plans may be created which contain competencies learners must meet over a number of courses. If you plan to use competencies it's worth taking the time to read about the roles and capabilities associated with competencies and learning plans. To summarise, competencies define what students can do. Administrators can add competency frameworks, competencies can be attached to learning plans owned by students and teachers can add competencies to their courses and activities within their courses.
