The Skills Tracking suite contains two portions, Skills and Competencies, and when used together, they allow you to easily track what your Learners are proficient in. Skills are what learners are awarded points in after successfully completing specific assessments, checklists, courses, or learning paths. These points are then used to determine what they’re competent in.
To get started, click on Performance Management, then on Skills.
To add a skill, click on the New Skill button. Give it a name and description, then save your changes.
Once a skill has been created, you can click on the pencil icon to edit its name and description, or View Summary to view a summary of its information. Clicking on the trash icon will delete the skill.
Once you’ve finished creating your skills, click on Performance Management, then on Competencies. Click on the New Competency button.
After giving it a name and description, click on Edit Skills Required.
Select the Skills that the Competency requires, and set the Skill Level for each selected Skill. The user will need to obtain the required levels in each Skill in order to earn the Competency.
Now all that’s left is to assign Skills to your assessments, checklists, courses, and learning paths. We’ll be using a Course as an example, but the feature functions the same way for all of the other elements and will be found in the respective Settings tabs.
After clicking on the course you want to add skills to, click on Course Settings and scroll down until you see the Skills Acquired area. Click on the Manage Skills button.
You’ll be able to use the checkboxes to specify which skills are earned, as well as the number of points that will be awarded for each of them. Once you’re finished, click on Save Skills.
