Competencies and Rubrics

Learning Environment facilitates easy tracking of user progress by leveraging organizational structures to share competencies across multiple courses. Our clients assess organization, program, and course-wide competencies and learning objectives through quizzes, assignments, discussions, grades, and surveys.

Rubrics enable our clients' organizations to define transparent assessment criteria and create structured feedback. Rubrics are used to evaluate quizzes, assignments, and discussions within Learning Environment, along with activities that take place in other tools or outside the system altogether.
