Hi,

I am creating a program and I cant add a competency that has NOT a course in it, I dont have any problem in adding courses or competencies with courses as evidence, but if I want to add a competency with no course I cant.

Its there anyway of doing this? or possible solutions? 

thanks

Hi Gionvanni,

The way program management was designed was that it is really all about completing courses - the "competency" option when setting up content doesn't really add the competency - it adds all the courses that are linked to that competency.

So if the competency doesn't have any courses linked it doesn't really make sense to allow you to add it.

For it to be meaningful to add a competency to a program directly, the program management code would need to be modified to support competencies - e.g. understand when a competency is complete and use that information to unlock further content. I'm afraid that isn't currently possible.

Thank you, this one of the functionalities that the possible costumer will want, if they want this, I will look around for possible solutions.
