This feature allows you to create multiple skills grouped into Skill Groups, with customizable levels ranging from 1 to 3 or even from 1 to 5. You will learn how to create and link these skills to modules to better track your participants' progress.
1. What is the skills feature?
The Skills feature allows you to:
Create Skill Groups: Organize your skills into thematic groups.
Define Skill Levels: Assign skill levels ranging from 1 to 3 or 1 to 5, depending on your needs.
These skills and their levels will then be linked to modules, allowing you to assess participants who complete these modules.
2. How to use the skills feature
Method 1: Create skills and link them to modules
Create skills: In the Skills section, you can create specific skills and group them by theme.
Link to modules: Once the skills are created, you can link them to modules. This will allow you to assign skill levels to participants who complete these modules.
View skills: Participants will then be able to view their skill levels on their individual Statistics page. For example:
In the IT skill group:
Microsoft Excel: Level 3
Microsoft Word: Level 2
The levels can be represented by ribbons, stars, or a progress bar, allowing participants to know where they need further training to acquire the required skills.
Method 2: Use skills in placement tests
Another method is to use skills in placement tests. After taking a placement test, skill levels can be assigned automatically. For more information on this, please refer to the dedicated tutorial on placement tests.
Important Information
Skills Statistics: Currently, there are no dedicated skills statistics on the Learner dashboard.
Skills Repository: To view participants' individual skills, you need to create a skills repository and assign it to the relevant participants.
