Learner ratings
When the competency is assigned to the learner, they will receive a notification email to log into the Mapal One learner’s portal to access it. In order for them to submit a rating they have to find the correct competency and open it.
If the Allow learner to rate themselves toggle was activated when the competence was created, the learner can select a star rating to rate themselves based on how well they feel they completed the competence.
If the Allow learner upload? toggle was activated when the competence was created, the learner has the ability to upload files. This could be a video link to a recording of them completing the competence, or a step-by-step document showing how they achieved the competence.
Details of this completed competency will appear in reports and other functionalities associated with learning progress and completion.
Mark and rate competences through the QR Code
Managers can mark and rate competencies through a QR code generated by the employee's Mapal One mobile account. To do this, the manager must have a QR code scanning app on their device or the scanning feature within Mapal One enabled.
To know more about how to generate this QR code, see Generate a QR code for your competences.
- Open the QR code scanning app on your device OR the scanning feature within Mapal One if available.
Once you scan the QR code, you will be redirected to the specific competence details for that employee. Here, you can view the employee’s progress and any relevant details. Check the evidence, ratings, or completion criteria as required for competence sign-off.
- Once reviewed, select the option to Mark as Complete or Sign Off on the competence page. The system will then record the sign-off, updating the status to reflect that the competence has been completed.
- A confirmation message will show that the competence has been successfully signed off. The Completed status is updated on both the employee’s and your profile, and any relevant dates are recorded in the system.
