Needs analysis, competence framework and learning goal definition
- Presentation and discussion of a competency framework: https://joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/digcompedu/digcompedu-framework/digcompedu-proficiency-levels_en
- Competence map (hands-on Moodle)
Example of a simple competence map structure:
- Competencies are usually defined in terms of levels (at least three, otherwise you only will have "pass"/"fail")
- Competence levels are defined for each "topic" (dimension) that is part of the program. These can be well defined subject areas or transversal skills.
- Each topic is further divided into sub-topics (sub-dimensions)
In the following summary table, dimensions (also called "areas", "topics", "subject matters" are on one axis,, levels on another.
| Level of competency | Dimension 1 | Dimension 2 | Dimension 3 | Dimension ... | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | |||||||||
| Level 2 | |||||||||
| Level 3 | |||||||||

- Program structure (linked to the competence map)
