The foundation of all Exabis applications is working with competence grids.

Competences are at the core of our module Exabis Competence Grid. Competences describe combinations of knowledge, abilities, and attitudes that are necessary, for example, for successful professional activity. It is important not to confuse competences with skills—skills refer to specific abilities needed for particular tasks, such as operating a machine, programming, etc.

Competence grids present subject areas in the form of a table or matrix. This format clearly and systematically displays the content to be taught to learners, organised by levels of difficulty. Many teaching and learning materials are now being structured in this way. These grids also make it possible to illustrate the progress learners make throughout their learning journey.

The module increases learner motivation by linking activities and external resources to competences, and it promotes self-assessment as well as the demonstration of competences.
