Objectives & Skills
Each course on the platform can define learning objectives and specific skills. Together, they form a competency map showing exactly where you are and what you need to develop.What are course objectives?
Objectives are the learning goals defined by the teacher for the course. They represent the major competencies you should master by completing the course. Example objectives:- âMaster programming fundamentalsâ
- âUnderstand data analysisâ
- âApply project management techniquesâ
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | Objective name |
| Description | Detailed explanation of what will be learned |
| Icon | Visual representation (target, lightbulb, check, book, medal) |
| Target score | Score goal to consider the objective achieved (0 to 100) |
What are skills?
Skills are specific, measurable competencies within each objective. If objectives are the big goals, skills are the concrete steps to get there. Example:- Objective: âMaster programming fundamentalsâ
- Skill 1: âUnderstand variables and data typesâ
- Skill 2: âCreate conditional structuresâ
- Skill 3: âImplement loops and iterationsâ
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | Skill name |
| Description | What this skill represents |
| Icon | Visual representation |
| Target score | Score goal to consider the skill mastered (0 to 100) |
| Linked objective | Which objective this skill belongs to |
How progress works
For students
Your progress on objectives and skills updates automatically as you advance through the course:Watch lessons
Each lesson is linked to one or more skills. Completing a lesson updates progress on related skills.
Complete practice exams
Practice exam questions can be linked to specific skills. Your performance feeds each skillâs score.
Progress calculation
Progress for each objective and skill is calculated based on the proportion of completed lessons:- If an objective has 4 linked lessons and you completed 2, your progress is 50% of the target score
- The same applies to individual skills
- Progress updates in real time as you complete lessons
Dashboard visualization
On the course dashboard, students see:Objectives section
- Up to 3 objectives displayed as cards
- Each card shows: icon, title, description, starting score, target and progress bar
- Recommended tags indicate study focus areas
Skills section
- Radar chart â Circular visualization showing all skills and mastery levels intuitively
- Detailed table â Lists each skill with current score versus target
How objectives and skills compose your profile
Objectives and skills data form a competency profile for each student. This profile:- Shows your strengths â Skills with high scores indicate mastered areas
- Identifies gaps â Skills with low scores show where to focus your studies
- Feeds AI â When Contextual AI is active, it uses your skill data to generate personalized recommendations and study plans
- Tracks evolution â Progress is tracked over time, allowing you to see your growth
For teachers
Defining objectives and skills
When creating or editing a course, the teacher defines objectives and skills in dedicated steps:Create objectives
Define up to 5 objectives for the course, each with title, description, icon and target score.
Create skills
For each objective, create specific skills (up to 25 total). Each skill is linked to one objective.
Link lessons to skills
When creating or editing lessons, select which skills each lesson develops. A lesson can develop multiple skills.
Best practices
Clear and measurable objectives
Clear and measurable objectives
Define objectives that students can understand and measure. âMaster the fundamentalsâ is better than âLearn thingsâ.
Granular skills
Granular skills
Break each objective into 3-5 specific skills. Skills that are too broad are hard to measure; too specific creates information overload.
Link lessons consistently
Link lessons consistently
Each lesson should be linked to at least one skill. This ensures student progress is tracked accurately.
Realistic target scores
Realistic target scores
Set target scores that reflect the expected level. The default target of 80-90 works well for most cases.
Integration with practice exams
When practice exam questions are linked to skills:- Student performance per question maps to the corresponding skill
- Results analysis shows performance by competency
- Teachers identify which skills students struggle with most
- AI can suggest questions focused on low-performing skills
