SKILLS - Admin Guide (Step-by-Step)

SECTION 1: SKILLS - FEATURE OVERVIEW

The Skills Feature allows the creation of a library of skills the LMS system. Skills are specific competencies or objectives for which students must demonstrate proficiency.

Skills are further utilized within the LMS as part of the ROMS process. ROMS stands for Relative Object Management System and it allows a series of skills (called a Checklist)to be associated to a course and demonstrated / reviewed prior to the user receiving credit for the course.

For example, after taking a CPR course, a nurse may be required to show that they can demonstrate the required steps necessary to show proficiency in CPR (E.g. 1) Check for responsiveness, 2) begin chest compressions - Push down in the center of the chest 2 inches 30 times, 3) Tilt the head back and lift the chin. Pinch nose and cover the mouth with yours and blow until you see the chest rise. Give 2 breaths). .

A manager or proctor can review to ensure the student performed each step in a satisfactory manner when measured against predetermined objectives. Once the entire Checklist of skills is completed and recorded (and, if necessary, receives approval or is considered passing) in the LMS, the student can receive credit for the course.

This Guide will focus specifically on the creation of Skills. For further information on the entire ROMS process, please see the following documentation.
