Competence structures
for portfolio tools

Portfolios evidence competence
(and skill, etc. etc. let's not worry at this stage about the terminology)
Portfolio (and related) tools often assist learners to evidence their attainment in areas of competence
Several reasonsself-tracking of attainment; action planning
formative or summative assessment
presentation to others
Many different areas of ability
Each area has a different set of skills etc.
Some of these are arranged hierarchically
There are large overlaps
There is much common ground among the ways different tools work
different areas of ability are treated
Common interest in reuse
There is a common interest in being able toreuse the same tool in different ability areas
deal with the same ability area using different tools
To do this, we need to decouple tools and ability areas
Communicating structures
To create structures in one place, then use them in another
they should be defined in a common format
so that the structures can be output
communicated
input
automatically by relevant tools.
Exposing the structures
When a suitable format is agreed
structures and their parts can be given URIshandled by web servers to deliverhuman readable information for people
machine processable information for other systems
to be used as links e.g. in portfoliosso that definitions don't need to be duplicated
so that automatic matching can be done
Aims of today's meeting
Share how current tools handle such structures
Clarify the points in common
Try to find some agreement on common model
Agree requirements for interoperability
Suggest next steps for progress
Consider what needs to be done with Leap2A
Introduce JISC plans to support this work
Issues arisen in discussion
searching for other comparable competencies
who is it for?
can we say that a result is the result of an assessment process intended to assess a particular competency?
how do we integrate with Leap2A?
what really belongs to assessment, not to the definitions?
how do we integrate with claims?
hive off domain specific stuff into Leap2A
need to document use cases
pedagogical stuff
Possible features of single definitions
