Summary

In this chapter, we learnt how to apply Outcomes to help track user competencies in Moodle. We looked at two case studies, the National Health Institute of Italy and the Gulf Agency Company and their use of Moodle in managing on-going professional development.

Specifically, we covered the following:

  • You need to select the scale when creating the Outcome. Therefore, when considering Outcomes, you need to think about the scales that you want to measure the Outcomes with.
  • Although you can go back and add Outcomes one at a time, it is more practical to build a CSV spreadsheet and import the Outcomes in bulk.
  • It is important to align the objectives and Outcomes with the course as the Outcomes are only available to activities when they have been added to the course first.
  • It is possible to add a course level Outcome which is not available throughout the site. However, this is not always a wise thing to do. The risk is that someone else may create the same Outcome in another course and they will not be tracked together.

Not all activities can be graded within the activity. This has an impact on where the grading of the Outcome occurs. Familiarity with the gradebook grader report is essential for those using Outcomes so that they can edit and override grades as and when required.

We have also discussed the creation of the Outcome or competency maps and frameworks.

Now that we've learnt about using competencies in Moodle to help track skill and talent management, we're ready to move onto the next chapter that covers building communities with Moodle.
