 How can I use competencies in my Moodle site? A competency is a statement of what a learner can do. Competencies may be used for assessment in Moodle. A competency framework is a set of connected competencies. Competencies are enabled by default, but as an administrator you can disable them from site administration, general, competencies, competency settings. You can manually create a framework from competency frameworks. Here we're making one site wide. To add a framework to a category, you should click the More link from the Edit Category Settings page. 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. Click Configure Scale and set the defaults to Not Competent. You can now manually type in the competencies. You can also import ready-made competency frameworks from Import Competency Frameworks. Let's try that now. You can very quickly upload a detailed competency framework. Teachers add competencies to their courses from Course Navigation more, 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.
