Set a rating for recommendations
Profession Path provides a 4-point Likert scale methodology for learners to self assess their proficiency in an area.
Self assessments use the following scale:
- Emerging: Initial understanding and competency
- Developing: Partial understanding
- Proficient: Competent understanding
- Exceeding: Sophisticated understanding
You can assign recommendations to align with the learner self rating as a range of values from 0 to 4.
To set a rating for a recommendation
- Navigate to the recommendation you want to edit or create a new recommendation.
- From the Add Existing Recommendations window or the New Recommendation page, enter values between 0 and 4 in the Ratings Range* fields.
- Click Save.
Prioritize recommendations
The prioritization feature enables administrators to highlight key recommendations, ensuring they appear at the top of the list. You can prioritize or deprioritize recommendations, view confirmation messages for both actions, and identify prioritized recommendations through visual markers. Newly created recommendations are listed below prioritized ones, which are sorted by creation date, with the most recent at the top. There is no limit to the number of recommendations you can prioritize.
To prioritize a recommendation
- Navigate to the Recommendations tab.
- Click the context menu for the recommendation you want to prioritize or deprioritize.
- Click Prioritize or Deprioritize accordingly.
