Abstract: An online qualification management system that can be used to perform qualification management, such as candidate assessment for recruiting or promoting purposes, job description simulations, and learning management. A computing entity can execute a software application to implement a qualification management project that interacts online with a candidate to perform an assessment procedure on the candidate. The qualification management project includes a set of modules intended to interact individually with the candidate being assessed. One of the modules of the set may be a test module for testing the candidate for one or more skills. Another one of the modules of the set may be a virtual simulation module and implement a virtual simulation, the virtual simulation having a scenario defined by a chain of events and including a plurality of graphical scenes. The virtual simulation can also involve one or more avatars and/or interactive graphical objects.

Abstract: A method of creating a custom assessment project is disclosed. The method comprises selecting a template assessment project that includes modules adapted for interaction with a candidate to be assessed. The modules are linked in a workflow defining a sequence in which the candidate interacts with the modules. The template assessment project also includes a factor associated with at least one of the modules and a construct associated with the factor for evaluating the candidate. The method further comprises modifying at least one of the modules, the workflow, the factor, and the construct in response to user interaction; and updating at least another one of the modules, the workflow, the factor, and the construct without user interaction. A system and a computer readable storage medium for creating a custom assessment project are also disclosed.
