Adding Performance Metrics to Your Academy

Once you, an academy Admin, have enabled the Performance Metrics feature for your academy, you are ready to find and add the desired academy metrics! The metrics that you will add will be the ones that will be assessed on each user. So, you need to determine which metrics are relevant to your Academy.

Adding Metrics

To add metrics, click on the Admin tab, select the Performance Metrics tab from your Administration panel and select Manage Metrics.

This gives you an overview of all metrics in your academy.

There are two ways to add metrics: manually and from the database.

Schoox provides you with several common metrics you can use for your academy! It’s like having a database of metrics available! The metrics provided are of the default Skill Type. To see all of the available system-defined metrics just click on Add Metric and select Add from Database.

A list of metrics will appear. You can use the search function to find the name of a metric you might be interested in adding.

If you want to add one of the system-defined metrics to your academy, select the checkbox under Actions and click on Add to Academy.

Once the metrics have been added to your academy, you can edit them based on your needs! Just click on the edit icon next to the relevant metric title!

From this page, you have the option to edit the selected metric along with the description per proficiency level (if you have enabled the proficiency levels for your academy). Moreover, you can select a language for each of your academy metrics.

Please note: The languages available here are the UI languages you have selected in your Academy's settings. Each user will see the metrics titles and descriptions that are saved for their UI language.

 

Don’t forget to Save your changes when finished!

Adding Metrics with AI (Visier)

If your Academy has AI (Visier) enabled for metrics, you can get recommendations for metrics based on the job description or course description. If you are interested in getting this enabled, you can ask our support team to get this turned on for your academy.

For this, in the Admin tab, go to the Map Metric screen. This is the immediate step, if you go to Metrics Management -> Add Metric -> Add with AI you will be sent there as well. If Add with AI is not visible, the use of AI for Metrics has not been enabled for your Academy.

Under Map Metrics you get an overview of Jobs or Courses, depending on your selection.

Select the Job or Course you would like to add metrics to, and click on the eye icon under Actions.

If AI is enabled and if the job or course has a description, there now we automated recommendation on which metrics to add to the job or course selected.

Note: The job description and course description are added when adding the job or course respectively, and can be changed by editing the job or course. 

For courses, you can also directly add metrics - and find the AI recommendations - from the Manage Course window. Go to Connect Metrics -> Add Academy metric -> Add with AI to get the list directly from within the course.

Select the recommendations you want to add, and click on Map Metrics to connect the metrics.

Proficiency and Priority

When you select the metrics you want to add, and click on Map Metrics, it will ask you to select the proficiency level and priority.

The proficiency level is the expertise someone should have for this role - the options for these are set under the Academy Settings for skills. The priority level decides how much each skill 'weighs' for the job or course.

For example, the following screenshot has a priority of 1, 0.25, and 0.75. This adds up to 2 total, making 2 equal to 100%.

To figure out how much each skill weighs, you divide the number by the total to get the percentage.

Displaying responsible behaviors at work: 1 out of 2 -> 1 / 2 = 0.5 = 50%

Skill: 0.25 out of 2 -> 0.25 / 2 = 0.125 = 12.5%

Working with others from a range of backgrounds: 0.75 out of 2 -> 0.75 / 2 = 0.375 = 37.5%

Total: 50% + 12.5% + 37.5% = 100%

Grouping Metrics

Once you have added all the appropriate metrics you can put them into groups for easy distribution by going to the Group Metrics page. 

To add a group, name a new group, and click Add New. To add metrics to a Group click on the arrow next to the group.

In the column on the right, there are all the metrics that are associated with your Academy. To add metrics to a Group click the plus symbol. You can remove any metric by clicking its "x".

The next step is associating these metrics and metric groups with specific jobs and courses.
