Competency frameworks
The Competency frameworks page is where Competency frameworks can be created and managed. It can be accessed through the IOMAD dashboard:
- Go to the IOMAD dashboard.
- Choose the company you'd like to edit from the Select a company dropdown (or use the company selector at the top right of the page).
- Click on the Competencies tab.
- Select Competency frameworks.
Competency frameworks
Existing frameworks can be edited, duplicated, or deleted on this page by selecting Edit from the action menu then Edit settings, Duplicate, or Delete as appropriate.
Adding and Editing frameworks
A new Competency framework can be added with the Add new competency framework button. The admin can also explore the Moodle Competency framework repository via the Competency framework repository button.
The Add new competency framework page has a number of fields:
- Name
- This is the name of the framework.
- Description
- This is a description of the framework.
- ID Number
- This is the unique ID of the framework.
- Scale
- This is the type of scale used by the framework.
- Visibility
- This is whether the framework is visible.
- Category
- This is whether the framework is system-specific or company-specific.
Taxonomies refer to the names given to different levels of competencies within the framework.
Scales
There are two types of scales defined as standard: The Default competence scale and the Separate and Connected ways of knowing. Additional scales can be created.
In both cases, the steps in the scale have to be marked as being Default (meaning which value is assigned when a user is first assigned the framework) and/or Proficient (meaning whether or not the user is considered 'proficient' in a given skill when they complete that competency).
