  • The Performance Testing Council is your gateway to freely exchange experiences, knowledge, and yes, passion with others in the practice of performance testing. Membership will help you refine your evaluation program as you learn from experts, share best practices, help define research, expand your marketplace and help establish common delivery standards.

      A similar approach to GTED for teacher continuing education. Perhaps there is something to learn from this approach to competency modeling.
  • In 2008 UNESCO, in partnership with Microsoft, Intel, Cisco, and ISTE, formalized the UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers (ICT-CFT) with an aim to measure the ICT proficiency of teachers against a common international standard and to aid in their professional development
  • Often, the word competency and skill are used interchangeably. While they are related, they are not the same. A competency is a demonstrated ability to perform a particular job or task. A competency includes skills, but also behaviors and the ability to apply those skills in order to perform a job or task

  • In closing, effective competency-based professional development includes the following components: Adoption of a common set of competency standards defined by role. A computer science teacher may require different competencies contained in the ICT-CFT than a 3rd grade literacy teacher. Teachers identify areas where they need competency improvement. A rich and varied set of aligned resources is provided to teachers to fill those competency gaps which could include job shadowing, classes, workshops, or eLearning. Improved teacher competencies are verified through assessments, observation, or portfolio work. Peer support or mentoring is offered to help teachers carry forward ICT use to the classroom. Teacher competency development is refined and iterated in a continuous-improvement cycle.

  • Emulab is a network testbed, giving researchers a wide range of environments in which to develop, debug, and evaluate their systems. The name Emulab refers both to a facility and to a software system. The primary Emulab installation is run by the Flux Group, part of the School of Computing at the University of Utah. There are also installations of the Emulab software at more than two dozen sites around the world, ranging from testbeds with a handful of nodes up to testbeds with hundreds of nodes.

    Possible testbed for developing performance-based exams and simulated learning platforms. Emulab underlies DHS' DETER testbed for research and development.
