Tips for mapping assessment skills to mastery skill equivalents via import

  • An assessment skill can have only one mastery skill equivalent.

  • The mastery skill equivalent can be a Transferable skill, Transferable sub-skill, Content-area skill, or Content-area sub-skill.

  • Use Export in Assessment Skills to export the assessment_skill_id necessary for updating existing assessment skills via import.

  • Use Export in Content-area skills list and Transferable skills list to export the mastery_skill_ids needed to map mastery skills to assessment skills. Content-are skill or Transferable skill, use the exported parent_skill_id. To map an assessment skill to a Content-area sub-skill or Transferable sub-skill, use the exported sub_skill_id.
