Some points to keep in mind


As already discussed, Moodle calls competencies by a different name—Outcomes. So from here onwards, we will stick to the Moodle terminology in this chapter. However, do remember they are equivalent.

It is important to note that there is no hierarchy to the Outcomes within Moodle. It's a flat list. Other systems like ELIS from Remote-Learner provide tree options. However, without that, you need to be careful how you name your Outcomes.

To help you navigate a long list, I recommend inverting the preceding examples. So instead of Describe Mahara, use Mahara Description so that all the Mahara Outcomes come at M in the list, rather than spread out at each point like at D for description and so on.
