Contents

Field Description
Available Items/Selected Items

Select any number of competencies that students will gain by taking the course. Students will be able to see and search on these competencies when looking for courses to take.

First select a category, then select the individual competencies for the category.

  • To select or clear individual competencies, click the category to expand a list of each competency, then click the plus sign next to each competency you want to add to the Selected Items list.
  • To rate the competency, click the arrow in the Rating field and select 1 — Seldom Meets Expectations, 2 — Meets Most Expectations, 3 — Meets All Expectations, 4 — Exceeds Expectations, 5 — Greatly Exceeds Expectations
  • To remove a competency from the Selected Items list, click the red x next to that competency.
    Note: Administrators are not required to select a skill level or competency rating for every item selected in the Skills Gained and Competencies Gained tabs. However, only items with a specified rating are added to users’ competency profiles when the course is completed.

    In addition, because Competencies and Skills can be used as course search criteria, the Skills and Competencies Gained feature allows students who want to enhance their competency profiles to find courses relevant to their profile objectives via the Course Search function.
