Abstract

In a method for managing a skill of a learner, it is determined based on an obtained date when the learner obtained the skill, whether or not the skill obtained by the learner passes a valid term, and a skill level is changed based on a result.

Claims

1. A method for managing a skill of a learner, comprising the steps of:

(a) determining based on an obtained date when the learner obtained the skill whether or not the skill obtained by the learner passes a valid term; and

(b) changing a skill level based on a result in said step (a).

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said step (b) invalidates the skill obtained by the learner when the skill passes the valid term.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising the step of (c) updating the skill related to an active achievement based on the active achievement of the learner.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein said step (c) adds a new skill based on the active achievement of the learner.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising the steps of:

(d) managing skill information related to the skill obtained by the learner for each learner; and

(e) registering the skill information showing the skill corresponding to a qualification based on qualification information showing the qualification of the learner for each learner.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5, further comprising the steps of:

(f) determining based on task evaluation information showing an evaluation, which the learner obtained by a task, whether or not a level of the learner achieves a predetermined level; and

(g) registering based on a determination result in said step (f) whether or not skill information showing the skill corresponds to the task.

7. A method for displaying a skill state of a learner, comprising the steps of:

(a) managing skill information showing a skill related to the learner for each learner;

(b) managing skill related information showing relationships with other skills for each skill; and

(c) displaying the skill information of the learner by the relationships based on the skill related information at a display unit.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein said step (b) manages a higher skill being a higher level related to the skill, a same skill being a same level related to the skill, a lower skill being lower level related to the skill, as the skill related information for each skill, and

said step (c) displays the skill information of the learner in a tree structure based on a level order indicated said skill related information.

9. The method as claimed in claim 7, further comprising the steps of:

(d) managing validity information showing a validity of the skill depending on a time passage after the learner obtained the skill; and

(e) managing skill range information showing skills in a predetermined range necessary for a task of the learner;

wherein said step (c) displays the skill information of the learner corresponding to the skill range information and visually displays a presence of the validity based on the validity information.

10. A computer-readable recording medium having a program recorded thereon for causing a computer to manage a skill of a learner, comprising the codes of:

(a) determining based on an obtained date when the learner obtained the skill whether or not the skill obtained by the learner passes a valid term; and

(b) changing a skill level based on a result in said code (a).

11. A computer-readable recording medium having a program recorded thereon for causing a computer to display a skill state of a learner, comprising the codes of:

(a) managing skill information showing a skill related to the learner for each learner;

(b) managing skill related information showing relationships with other skills for each skill; and

(c) displaying the skill information of the learner by the relationships based on the skill related information at a display unit.
