Can students choose learning plans?

In self organized corporate learning scenarios it may make sense that students can select their own learning plans from a list and add themself to the learning plan.

Has anybody an idea how this is possible?

From a business stand point, these would normally be HR - soft skills courses.

  • How to Manage Stress
  • Working with others
  • Time Management

In Moodle from the student's Learning Plan page, they can select the Add New Learning Plan button and then add competencies directly from the competency framework. not something I would allow corporate learners.....but maybe other businesses don't have issues with this.

For each competency, the student's would need to be able to either "request enrollment" or self-enroll.

Hi Shirley

let me describe the scenarios I've in my mind.

In lots of industries  we can see a discussion about agile corporate mindsets and structures.  The is has massive consequences for L&D.  Typical L&D programs will run decentral and lots will be adhoc training offers and self organized trainings.  

The general expection for an employee is that s/he start activities and organizes learning  acitivities by self.

If an employeee is interested in personal growth, getting new skills and competencies s/he should be able to identify  a learning plan and to enrole.

I expect that we will have much less open central programs, much more decentral initiatives that are started  just a few weeks after identifying the need, working out loud circles und individuals that start their own journey.

The role of an LMS will change in a  VUCA world.

Hi Shirley,

I saw the mention "add new learning plan button" in your post. I am trying to get student to propose their own learning plan but even if I give permission to planviewowndraft and planmangedraft as Mary Cooch suggested, I can't find a way to make it works.

How did you make it works?

Thanks

Simon

I do not use that piece of functionality.

You would have to allow the students to select which competencies to add to their learning plans.

If the UI allowed for a better way to structure the competency framework and to inactivate competencies that were no longer valid, this would be a great way to build development plans for students.

The current UI design for the framework and the competency objects - makes this too challenging because it lacks the controls needed to allow for self creation of a Learning Plan.
