Competency self-assessment
Competency wheel
A self-assessment drawn as a pie: every competency is a slice, every level a ring. Participants colour their level on their phones, and you see each person's wheel and the averaged wheel of the whole group.
What is Competency wheel?
You write a question, list the competencies with descriptions and name the levels - from 2 to 7, with level 1 at the centre. That makes the wheel: as many slices as competencies, cut by rings into the levels. The wheel is saved in your library and you run sessions from it, sharing a code or a QR code.
Participants join from their phones and colour one level in each slice, reading the description of the competency next to it. On your screen the group's averaged wheel grows, with each person's wheel under it - ready material for a conversation about what the training should spend its time on.

Features
Key capabilities
The wheel draws itself
You type the competencies and the levels and the wheel redraws as you go. From 3 to 12 slices, from 2 to 7 rings.
A description for every competency
Under the name you add what the competency looks like in practice. The participant reads it right next to the rating, so everyone means the same thing.
Levels in your own words
Name only the levels that need it: just starting, I work on my own, I can teach others.
Self-assessment on a phone
A tap on the wheel or on a numbered button. A refreshed phone comes back to the levels already marked.
The group wheel and personal wheels
The averaged wheel grows live. Click a person to see their wheel with a line marking the group average for comparison.
Sessions, table and CSV
Every run has its own code and results. The table of all ratings exports to CSV, and presentation mode puts the wheel on the projector.
