Am using moodle 2.5... 

Am trying to workaround an HR-generated problem about tracking student progress by using moodle.  Have been on-board w/moodle since 1.3 and it's a great tool.  Maybe it can do this, maybe not.

I have created courses that contain T/F questions. 

Each question is a skill and True is the correct answer.

1. The person demonstrates knowledge of OMS?  True/False

2. The person can configure GPS settings?  True/False

3. The person can find and troubleshoot the enum.c file?  True/False

The supervisor /  manager enrolls his or her employees in the course and asks each to log in to the course.  The students are not required to answer the questions.  HOWEVER, we want the supervisor / manager to review the course and select True when the person has acquired the skill.  Then, management can run a report on the course or the employee and determine if his training is complete or not.

Is this possible?  Essentially, the supervisor has a role that can change the answers to questions for a person and then run a report on it?

Or is there another way to capture this information within moodle 2.5?  Is there an option/feature in moodle to track a person's skill progress by manually setting up categories and manually editing each person's achievements?

Even though we've been moodle users since 1.3, I admittedly have not explored all the features and options moodle has available.  Maybe what I have concocted will work, maybe not, or there may be another, easy solution that moodle 2.5 possesses.

Thanks,

madea

I don't think the quiz is quite the right tool for what you are trying to do.

I wonder if https://docs.moodle.org/27/en/Outcomes is?

update to my question:

Tim Hunt's suggestion got us working in another direction and what we ended up using is the Grader Report in edit mode for the Assignment module! 

We created a hidden category with hidden sub-categories and created hidden assignments based on the skills we needed to evaluate per person.  Then, we manually enrolled each person we needed to evaluate.

From there, we could access the Grader report and turn editing on and change "the grade" for the assignment (which was actually a "skill" or "competency"): to competent, not tested, etc.

Once we have the persons in the system, so to speak, and evaluated, we could generate appropriate reports.

We did have to create a special "role" that is given to the supervisors and managers so they could just see these categories, assignments, and be able to modify the "grades."

Overall, it's looking like moodle is able to accomplish what our current HR system cannot: track and report on employee skill levels by employee.

Thanks!  And thanks to Tim Hunt for getting us off into another direction.
