Introduction

This Brickfield Competency report provides both a site and course level report for viewing the number of graded students per competency. 

 

An initial configuration is needed to select the one competency framework to be reported on, which is a global setting, and can be edited at any time.

 

The site level report displays the number of graded users per competency, within the selected framework, in each course on the site. It is generally for site administrators only, with access controlled by capabilities. It also enables access to all course tags for filtering on, for the entire Moodle site.

 

The course level report applies the current course’s assigned tags as filters by default. It will then display the number of graded users per competency, within the selected framework, for all additional courses on the site which ALSO use any one of these tags. These tag filters can be updated, which allows teachers to view all courses they are enrolled in or for site administrators to view all courses on the site.

 

The table results can be downloaded as whichever data formats, for instance CSV, Excel, HTML, text, in which the site administrator has configured for the table view downloads (under Manage data formats).
