In the CompLeap project we are producing testable prototypes, which are linked to the framework architecture developed in WP2.
Four Phases of Development
- Mapping architecture – initial mapping of current service framework
- Mock up prototype – visual screenshots of the modules for testing a concept
- HTML prototype – more functionalities than a mock-up proto showcasing full framework
- Beta prototypes – final prototype proving certain functionalities of the planned framework
Content of Proof of Concept Prototypes
The proof of concept (PoC) prptptypes include three interlinked modules:
- Module 1: Local study record service integration (past)
- Module 2: Competence profile with current competencies (present)
- Module 3: Suggestions for educational opportunities (future)
More information on the design and content of the thee modules can be found here: Content of Prototypes

Learner Centered Service Design
The learners needs have been at the center of the service design process. Learners and guidance counselors have been at the center of service planning and needs analysis from the very beginning. Learners are included in the testing and piloting of the prototypes.
The learner's pathway is main value stream in the CompLeap framework, and defines the steps the learner takes to increment hers or his competence.
Under WP2 EDUFI conducted a stakeholder needs analysis out of which the following key needs for the service prototypes were identified. These have been translated into requirements for the digital service developers:
NEED 1: To help learner’s identify, map and visualise current competencies (competence mapping)
The prototype enables the user to create content relating to their competences and collect datapoints / materials for AI analytics.
The datamass will create visualised and verbalised content on the users competences. The content can be added to the users own competence profile.
NEED 2: To help users understand what competencies they need and wish to have
The prototype enables users to map and collect content for a personal competence profile, which also provides intelligent input on potential competence development opportunities.
The user can input their own interests and competencies and compare them to labour market needs with valuable feedback of further competence development needs.
The prototype includes links to various competence tests the results of which they can save to their own profile.
NEED 3: Creating own competence profile (technical)
The prototype enables users to sing into the service either with strong or weak authentication and create the basic profile.
The profile information is updated through competence mapping.
NEED 4: Low threshold support and community
The prototype enables users to share and discuss content.
NEED 5: Linkages and movement between different digital services e.g. labour market platforms
The prototype includes an interface and approval management tool, which provides content for the use of different education providers.
Own data from different relevant services can be transfered and shown in personal competence profile.
NEED 6: Providing the neccessary data and transitions for the comparing of education opportunities
The prototype provides information and data as input for compering educational opportunities.
The supply of education opportunities can be visualised into a map where area specific competence needs are highlighted.
