In ovos play, competences are used as an overarching category to classify question cards into a competence. The competences summarize questions from all thematic decks. You can visualize the structure as follows:
In the app, question cards that are assigned to a competency can be practised in a targeted manner. The learning progress for individual competences is displayed in the app on the profile page.
Create competences
In the Create section, you will find the Competences menu item. Here you can create and manage new competences.
Click on Add competence to create and configure new competences.
Each competence must have a name and can include a description and a picture.
Name, image and description are displayed in the app for the respective expertise.
Competences appear for learners when they are also allowed to see task cards or survey cards in this competence through assigned content packages. If task cards are assigned to the competence, learners can also practise this competence.
Assign question cards to a competence
If you have created competences, you can now assign question cards to fill in the practice session of the competences and to measure the learning progress of the competences.
Edit the desired map and switch to the Competences tab.
Click on Add field to assign the card to a competence.
Then select the desired competence to which you want to assign the card.
You can also create a new competence at any time in this input field. Enter the name of the new competence and click on Add competence.
Show self-assessment for competences
The self-assessment can be activated as an additional module. If required, get in touch with your contact person at ovos or contact us at support@ovos.at.
Self-assessment is a competency-based evaluation of survey cards, because there is no right or wrong here. This allows you to create interactive learning paths in which users receive an evaluation of how well they are already performing in defined competences and where they need to catch up.
The self-assessment is also displayed on the profile page within the competence bars instead of the learning progress.
Assign survey cards to a competence
To assign a survey card to a competence for self-assessment, proceed in the same way as for task cards. Navigate to the Competences tab and select the desired competence.
When creating survey cards, you will find an additional Self-assessment field in the Content tab. Activate this field to mark the survey card for self-assessment. Only marked survey cards will be taken into account for the evaluation.
Only the following cards can be marked as self-assessment cards:
Survey: Text Single Choice (no multiple choice)
Survey: Scale
Survey: Star
If you mark a survey card as a self-assessment, the order of the answers will be used for the evaluation. You will find this information in the info box next to the ‘Self-assessment’ checkbox:
The order of the answers determines the self-assessment value. The value ranges from 0 to 1. The top answer in the editor always has the value 0. The values are ranked for the user from top left (0) to bottom right (1).With four possible answers in the single choice and star template, this results in the answer values:
Answer 1: 0 %
Answer 2: 33 %
Answer 3: 66 %
Answer 4: 100 %
With the scale template, the position entered for the slider is used from 0 % on the left and 100 % on the right.
The competence bars in the profile page show the combined values of all answered survey cards in per cent from 0 % - 100 %.
