  1. Leading innovation in technology assisted learning Opening up the competency store Dave Waller – Operations Director

  2. Supporting Competency based learning and development since 2000: • Extensive experience of competency definition consultancy and support (Retail Academy, NHS Diabetes Care) • Provision of comprehensive competency analysis tools (Capability Matrix, NHS, Delta-Afrik, CIPD, local authorities) • Supporting competency development through e-portfolios (ALPS, Foundation Degree in Retail, University of Leeds School of Medicine) • Strong, ongoing relationship with a number of SSCs and NSAs (most notably the Nuclear and Process Industries – Cogent, NSAPI and NSAN) • Development of a robust platform for competency framework management (Multi-Port framework powered by .NET and SQLServer)

  3. Challenges emerging: • Increasing demand for integrated solutions • Inconsistent structure, definition and publication of frameworks • Wide ranging definition of “competency frameworks” including: • National Occupational Standards • Skills frameworks • Competency frameworks • Assessment criteria • Differing approaches within single institutions • Varied commercial / business models when working with professional institutes and Sector Skills Councils

  4. Functional components Framework management tools Competency analysis tools Assessment management tools e-Portfolio / reflective learning tools e-Learning content management tools Core Multi-Port framework application Data storage layer Competency frameworks User data Learning content … The MyKnowledgeMap Multi-Port framework

  5. A review of the current approach: • Interoperability with other systems can often be problematic (especially with non-.NET applications) • Different Multi-Port core functions are available in different ways (XML, SOAP, JSON, HTML) • Some Multi-Port core functions are only available through other .NET ASPX pages • A noticeable shift away from the monolithic application delivered by a single vendor • Institutions want to use a variety of tools, each with their own strengths (VLEs, portfolios, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, etc)

  6. The Web 2.0 Cloud VLEs e-portfolios Wordpress Twitter MKM functional components ELGG Facebook Blogs Assessment tools Flickr Multi-Port open API Core Multi-Port framework application Data storage layer Competency frameworks User data Learning content … How can Multi-Port be “opened up”?

  7. What can be done with this approach? Competency frameworks loaded through web-services Evidence loaded from Flickr using the open Flickr API Twitter API used to draw tweets as evidence Drag-n-drop mapping of evidence against competencies RSS feeds bring evidence from blogs or other sources A custom PHP application hosted separately from the core Multi-Port framework

  8. Moving forward… • Multi-Port continues to be “opened up” with more open web-services • Robust competency management, storage and delivery functions are becoming available through the API • Work continues to adopt open standards (LEAP2a, RDFa, and standardised web-service conventions) • But, how should we open the competency functions to make them usable and interoperable?
