The Open Proficiency Model (OPM) is an open definition for quantifying an individual's familiarity with skills, capabilities, and other abilities.
Definitions include:
- Experience Topic - a defined unique area of knowledge for gaining experience and becoming proficient.
- Proficiency Score - a number indicating the degree of understanding for a specific topic.
- Experience Source - activities a user can complete to increase proficiency in topics. (Tutorials, projects, normal work, etc.)
- Topic List - A list of topics provided by an issuer.
- Transcript Entry - proficiency score for a single topic.
- Verified - All proficiency is signed by the issuer.
- Distributed - All transcript records are independent of the issuer and learning source.
- Never Repeat - Knowledge topics and proficiency are transferrable. New courses on the same topics don't invalidate old courses.
