Last updated About 16 hours ago

A Skill Set is a list of skills you can add to a student experience all at once. Create the Skill Set, then add its skills by typing them in, choosing them from ONet, copying them from a Task List, or importing a file.

Note: To add a Skill Set to student experiences, Skill Tracking must be enabled on the WBL Type. Please see How do I turn on Skill Tracking for a WBL Type? for more information.

Changing a Skill Set That's in Use

Changes to a Skill Set don't change the experiences that already use it. When you close the Skills window after adding, editing or deleting skills, you're asked whether to update the active experiences that use the Skill Set. See How do I update active experiences when I change a skill set?

To add your Skill Set to a student experience, see How do I add a Skill Set to a student experience?
