OCFC Required Features

This page is currently an incomplete draft.

The TAW's analysis of use cases produced by the RWSC identified new features or capabilities required for the OCFC to meet those requirements. In this page those new features are collated in order to provide the basis for work plans for projects that can enhance the OCFC.

Cluster One

Search capabilities

Search by work roles (or occupation/job/specialty) to find & display associated competencies.

Required by:

• 1 Document Competencies. As an instructional designer, I need to work with faculty to document competencies addressed by their courses in order to to support adequate student assessment as aligned to a particular job role.
  • In order to: find the competencies and provide the documentation about them.
  • Assuming: Competency data with links to/from workroles (or occupations/jobs/specialties) exist in the registry data.

Return results based on a competency description

Required by:

• 2. Alignment of Competencies. As a competency frameworks developer, I need to align the skills and competencies in my frameworks to the skills and competencies in other frameworks using links defining levels of similarity to assist in interoperability with organizations using those frameworks.
  • In order to: find competencies in frameworks that are described in one or more nodes.

• 3 Mapping Competencies. As an instructional designer at an educational provider, I need to map skills and competencies identified by an employer looking for training opportunities to the skills and competencies in the college's courses and training programs.
  • In order to: Help instructional designer find relevant competencies based on info provide by employer.
  • Assuming that: Data on competencies that are learning objectives of courses are available to the search service.

Results returned have some indication of how close the match between the query and the results.

  • In order to: document an alignment between competencies

• 3 Mapping Competencies: As an instructional designer at an educational provider, I need to map skills and competencies identified by an employer looking for training opportunities to the skills and competencies in the college's courses and training programs.

Result display requirements

Show the relationship between a competency and workrole(s) (etc.) when the data is available.

Required by:

• 1 Document Competencies. As an instructional designer, I need to work with faculty to document competencies addressed by their courses in order to to support adequate student assessment as aligned to a particular job role.
  • In order to: find the competencies and provide the documentation about them.
  • Assuming: Competency data with links to/from workroles (or occupations/jobs/specialties) exist in the registry data.

Show those properties that contextualize the competence, e.g. links to courses, jobs, if they exist.

Required by:

• 3. Mapping Competencies. As an instructional designer at an educational provider, I need to map skills and competencies identified by an employer looking for training opportunities to the skills and competencies in the college's courses and training programs.

Cluster Two (mapping)

Some relevance to:

• results returned have some indication of how close the match between the query and the results.

• Required by: 2. Alignment of Competencies.
