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:
  • “Master programming fundamentals”
  • “Understand data analysis”
  • “Apply project management techniques”
Each objective has:
FieldDescription
TitleObjective name
DescriptionDetailed explanation of what will be learned
IconVisual representation (target, lightbulb, check, book, medal)
Target scoreScore goal to consider the objective achieved (0 to 100)
A course can have up to 5 objectives.

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: “Master programming fundamentals”
    • Skill 1: “Understand variables and data types”
    • Skill 2: “Create conditional structures”
    • Skill 3: “Implement loops and iterations”
Each skill has:
FieldDescription
TitleSkill name
DescriptionWhat this skill represents
IconVisual representation
Target scoreScore goal to consider the skill mastered (0 to 100)
Linked objectiveWhich objective this skill belongs to
A course can have up to 25 skills, distributed across its objectives.

How progress works

For students

Your progress on objectives and skills updates automatically as you advance through the course:
1

Watch lessons

Each lesson is linked to one or more skills. Completing a lesson updates progress on related skills.
2

Complete practice exams

Practice exam questions can be linked to specific skills. Your performance feeds each skill’s score.
3

Track on dashboard

The course dashboard displays your objectives with progress bars and your skills in a visual radar chart.

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 — Circular visualization showing all skills and mastery levels intuitively
  • Detailed table — Lists each skill with current score versus target
The radar chart is a great way to quickly identify which skills need more attention. Skills with low scores appear as smaller “points” on the chart.

How objectives and skills compose your profile

Objectives and skills data form a competency profile for each student. This profile:
  • Shows your strengths — Skills with high scores indicate mastered areas
  • Identifies gaps — Skills with low scores show where to focus your studies
  • Feeds AI — When Contextual AI is active, it uses your skill data to generate personalized recommendations and study plans
  • Tracks evolution — 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:
1

Create objectives

Define up to 5 objectives for the course, each with title, description, icon and target score.
2

Create skills

For each objective, create specific skills (up to 25 total). Each skill is linked to one objective.
3

Link lessons to skills

When creating or editing lessons, select which skills each lesson develops. A lesson can develop multiple skills.
4

Link questions to skills

When creating practice exams, link individual questions to specific skills for precise competency measurement.

Best practices

Define objectives that students can understand and measure. “Master the fundamentals” is better than “Learn things”.
Break each objective into 3-5 specific skills. Skills that are too broad are hard to measure; too specific creates information overload.
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
