What can you do on this screen?

On the Knowledge screen, you can create and manage the knowledge entries that are used for the skills in the task analysis in LEAD. In LEAD, we provide you with the Department of Labor O*NET Knowledge listing, based on the Department of Labor's (DOL) Standard Occupational Classification (SOC). These knowledge entries are already approved and used on the Competencies screens, so they cannot be deleted.

Finding Knowledge Entries

If you can't find the knowledge entry you're looking for, enter a search term in the Find: field and select Search. The table will list all knowledge entries that contain your search term on the screen.

You can click on the column headers of each table to sort the knowledge entries by that column. Clicking on a column header again will reverse the sort. Clicking on the column header a third time will remove the sort. Small arrows in the column header let you know which way the data is currently sorted.

Details on the Library > Knowledge Entries Table

No

The number (No) column provides a sequential count of the entries, which is not attached to the entries themselves.

Title

The Title or text of the knowledge entry. Knowledge entries are used in the task analysis for tasks, subtasks, and steps (aka skills) to state the required facts, concepts, and principles to perform the skill. The identification of required knowledge is critical during the design phase because the sequencing of the learning event relies heavily on prerequisite relationships.

LEAD already contains the knowledge entries from the Department of Labor O*Net OnLine database, which are used on the Competencies tab. Feel free to add more specific knowledge entries, as needed, or even to expand on the existing ones.

When adding knowledge entries, concentrate on those that need to be trained to, and not all possible knowledge requirements.

Status

The current Status of the library item. Once the initiative that uses the library item is approved, then the library item is also approved. You can also approve a library item manually by viewing the item and then selecting Approve on the screen. You cannot approve a library item from the Edit screen.
