Knowledge Fields

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.
