P1484.20.2 - Recommended Practices for Defining Competencies

Project Details

This document provides Recommended Practices for Defining Competencies. It supports IEEE 1484.20.1, a technical standard for competency definitions data. This document gives recommended practices for defining the kinds of information that the 1484.20.1 standard encodes as interoperable data, i.e. data that defines a skill, knowledge, ability, attitude, habit of practice, behavior or learning outcome.

Active Projects	Active P1484.20.1 - Standard for Learning Technology-Data Model for Reusable Competency Definitions This Standard defines a data model for describing, referencing, and sharing competency definitions, primarily in the context of online and distributed learning. In this Standard a competency may be defined for a skill, knowledge, ability, attitude, habit of practice, or learning outcome.
Existing Standards	Inactive-Withdrawn IEEE 1484.1-2003 - IEEE Standard for Learning Technology - Learning Technology Systems Architecture (LTSA) High-level architecture for information technology-supported learning, education, and training systems that describes the high-level system design and the components of these systems is speci ed in this standard.
	Active IEEE 1484.20.1-2007 - IEEE Standard for Learning Technology-Data Model for Reusable Competency Definitions This Standard defines a data model for describing, referencing, and sharing competency definitions, primarily in the context of online and distributed learning. This Standard provides a way to represent formally the key characteristics of a competency, independently of its use in any particular context. It enables interoperability among learning systems that deal with competency information by providing a means for them to refer to common definitions with common meanings.
