Moodle in English: How to link a competency to a course?

How to link a competency to a course?

by Andy Hill - Wednesday, April 19, 2017, 12:23 AM

Hi Guys

I have tried to read up on this subject and finding it difficult, the videos ive watched doesn't really show how to link a competency to a course. The stage im at is as follows:-

I have created the competency framework as admin with underlying competencies.
I have gone into course administration but dont see the orange cone icon which represents competencies?? I can only assume this is where you link the competency. I've tried looking in course edit and competency settings etc but just cant seem to find where to link this to a course.

I am running the latest moodle 3.2.2+ with adaptable theme

Any help would be appreciated, many thanks

Hello. I am not familiar with the Adaptable theme but in 3.2 the competencies link for non-Boost themes was moved to the Navigation block -so you should find it there.

Why the hack would someone put it there? We use Adaptable .. and it took me a lot of frustration tolerance and 2 hours to find your hint and of course the link that helps me to link competencies to a course. It's a clear issue to hide it there. In my humble opinion it should be under "course administration" too.

Hi,

did you solve this? I'm facing the same issue - can't find how to link competencies to a course/activities into the course.

Ely- how far have you got in your searches? Have you added competencies to the site already? If so then you should be able to add them to a course either by clicking the link Competencies in the navigation drawer if you are using the Boost theme or the link in the navigation block if you are not. I don't know about contributed themes such as Adaptable, sorry. See Competencies.

Hi, I saw that you said you found it. So where is it? Under the course administration?

Where I'm confused is on the matter of are the competencies linked to a course, or the student?

I seem to developing Lesson Plans for students, creating cohorts with students in, linking those to the Lesson Plans and yet, in the course the competencies do not show up: do I have to define them here too? Would it not be easier for them to come from the students or am I missing something here?

Surely the easiest way would be for each student to have a lesson plan assigned to them, and then for this to inherit the competencies from the course their on.

There seems to be an awful lot of duplicate work going on here.

As well as adding the competencies to the learning plans which you then allocate to the students you do have to add the competencies to the courses where the students will be studying.

Not sure if I should start a new link or keep this going.....

I've set up a sample competency and learning plan. I've created a course that has the competency in it. If I go to the learning plan and click on "find courses" that should have the competency, I get no results. How should this work? Is there a step I'm missing?

Tks, Jeff...

Just past the hour, log in to school.demo.moodle net and log in with the username susan and password moodle. She has a learning plan (in fact, two) with competencies attached and if you click Edit > Find courses, you will see a course linked to that competency. Then log in with the username manager and password moodle and access those courses and the learning plans and see if you can spot differences in their set-up from your site.

Hi Mary, thanks for the quick reply. I took a quick look and see some differences in the course configuration. I'm crashing on another project right now, but will look at it closer next week. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

If you already have the competency frameworks and the competencies added to the appropriate courses and course activities -
1. Create a learning plan template.
2. Add the appropriate competencies to the learning plan template.
3. Create a cohort for all students that should have learning plans from the template
4. Assigned the learning plan template to a cohort.
This is pretty standard set-up process for learning plans.
