Speaking of skills...

This window allows managing skills acquired by students upon completing course activities.

Skills can be assigned to subjects, tracks and training.

How to calculate the skills acquired by the student?

When you create an item (subject, track or training course), you can add the minimum and maximum values for each skill and relate them to it. Such values establish how many points the student will receive in this skill, based on the proportional difference between their final grade and the minimum grade to pass it.

Example
Suppose that the minimum passing score for a training course is 50, and a particular skill in this training course has values 1 and 5 (minimum and maximum):

  • if the student passes it with 50 points, then they will receive 1 point in that particular skill;
  • if they pass it with 60 points, then they will receive 2 points in that particular skill;
  • if they pass it with the highest grade – 100  points – then they will receive 5 points in that particular skill;
  • however, if the student fails it, they will receive no points in this particular skill.

Students can check their acquired skills via the  Achievements and Achievement details widgets, if such widgets are added to a posted page to which students have access.
