  • Conference paper
Knowledge Science, Engineering and Management (KSEM 2009)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 5914))

Abstract

Authors present the method and tools for competency management in knowledge-base organisation. As an example, the higher education organisation working under Open and Distance Learning condition is examined. Competency management allows to management knowledge in the efficient and effective way on the stuff’s and student’s level. Based on the system analysis the management model for educational organisation was created. Next, method for quantitative competence assessment was presented. Moreover, the authors explore possibilities of integrating new competence description standards with existing mathematical methods of competence analysis into one common framework. The product of this idea is the concept of reusable Competence Object Library.
