Abstract

The present invention relates to a control system for controlling, accelerating and distributing of competence development. The system comprises at least one first memory device operable to store assessments and self-assessments for validation and education material. The control system also comprises a coach module operable to administrate course packages, learning pieces, assessments and study plans. The control system further comprises an individual module for each individual, wherein each individual module is operable to store individual-adapted course plans. The control system also comprises an individual validation module for each individual, wherein each individual validation module is operable to store results of the individual competence development. An archive module is operable to create and deliver statistics. The control system further comprises at least one control means operable to control who should have access to the content of the first memory device, the coach module, and the archive module.

Claims

1. A control system for controlling, accelerating and distributing of competence development, wherein said system is connected to a distributed computer network, wherein said system comprises at least one first memory device connected to said distributed computer network and operable to store assessments and self-assessments for validation and education material, a coach module connected to said distributed computer network and operable to administrate course packages, learning pieces, assessments and study plans, an individual module for each individual, wherein each individual module is connected to said distributed computer network and operable to store individual-adapted course plans, an individual validation module for each individual, wherein each individual validation module is connected to said distributed computer network and operable to store the results of the individual competence development, an archive module connected to said distributed computer network and operable to create and deliver statistics, and at least one control means connected to said distributed computer network and operable to control who should have access to the content of said first memory device, said coach module, and said archive module.

2. A control system for controlling, accelerating and distributing of competence development according to claim 1, characterized in that said control system also comprises an administration module connected to said distributed computer network, and operable to control each content owners copyright and to keep record of each content owners account.

3. A control system for controlling, accelerating, and distributing of competence development according to claim 2, characterized in that said archive module also is operable to store evaluation of study results.

4. A control system for controlling, accelerating, and distributing of competence development according to claim 3, characterized in that access to said control system is obtained by means of a computer device connectable to said distributed computer network.

5. A control system for controlling, accelerating, and distributing of competence development according to claim 4, characterized in that said distributed computer network is the Internet or a Wide Area Network (WAN).

6. A control system for controlling, accelerating, and distributing of competence development according to claim 5, characterized in that said control system also comprises at least one recording means operable to record the time spent for said course packages and learning pieces.

7. A control system for controlling, accelerating, and distributing of competence development according to claim 6, characterized in that said control system is connected to a second control system for achieving quality ensured competence development via said distributed computer network.

8. A method for controlling, accelerating and distributing of competence development with the aid of a control system for controlling, accelerating and distributing of competence development, wherein the method comprises the steps:

to choose from a first memory device and/or a coach module and/or an individual module, all comprised in said control system, education material, course packages, learning pieces and study plans;

to determine, with the aid of a control means comprised in said control system, if one has been granted access to said chosen education material, course packages, learning pieces and study plans;

to download statistics from an archive module comprised in said control system;

to download material from, depending on said downloaded statistics, said chosen accessible material;

to perform competence development with said downloaded material; and

in dependent of said downloaded material, to keep record of each content owners account with the aid of an administration module comprised in said control system.

9. A method for controlling, accelerating and distribution of competence development according to claim 8, characterized in that said method also comprises the step:

to create statistics with the aid of said archive module.

10. A method for controlling, accelerating and distributing of competence development according to claim 9, characterized in that said method also comprises the step:

to control, with the aid of said administration module, each content owners copyright.

11. A method for controlling, accelerating and distributing of competence development according to claim 10, characterized in that said method also comprises the step:

to download evaluation of study results from said archive module.

12. A method for controlling, accelerating and distributing of competence development according to claim 11, characterized in that said method also comprises the step:

to obtain access to said control system by means of a computer device connectable to said distributed computer network.

13. A method for controlling, accelerating and distributing of competence development according to claim 12, characterized in that said distributed computer network is the internet or a Wide Area Network (WAN).

14. A method for controlling, accelerating and distributing of competence development according to claim 13, characterized in that said method also comprises the step:

to record the time spent for said course packages and learning pieces with the aid of a recording means comprised in said control system.

15. A method for controlling, accelerating and distributing of competence development according to claim 14, characterized in that said control system is connected to a second control system for achieving quality ensured competence development.

16. At least one computer program product directly loadable into the internal memory of at least one digital computer, comprising software code portions for performing the steps of claim 8, when said at least one product is/are run on said at least one computer.
