The online education platform can then recommend how the student can fill the gap by undertaking the study of learning units on the education platform.

A system and method for rapidly developing items is presented. A root item is created or identified as a starting point for development of an item template. The item template is developed from the selected root item using a key calculation as well as calculations to generate distractors to ensure that an item discriminates well. The template identifies variables, provides the calculation and rationale for each answer option, and defines any variable constraints. Items are then cloned from the template. The cloned items may be identical in format to the root items. Finally, the statistical performance of the cloned item is verified by subjecting a few select cloned items to undergo an initial statistical analysis to validate the performance of a template and, once validated, multiple cloned items may be created and used in scored positions on future test administrations without needing to pretest.

According to one embodiment, a skill platform system includes a data acquisition unit, a model creation unit and a skill provision unit. The data acquisition unit is configured to acquire data on work of a skilled worker at a first site.

The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for skill sharing. A user's first click operation on a sharing link of a first skill is received; and the page jumps to a skill development page according to the first click operation, where the skill development page includes an input box of a link and an import button, and the input box is used to input a sharing link of a skill, while the import button is used to input an import instruction of the skill; and the first skill is imported into a skill development platform according to a user operation. By generating a sharing link of the skill, the sharing link of the skill can be shared within any location in existing sharing ways. The sharing manner thus enables the user to import the first skill in a variety of ways and avoids repeated development from different developers.

An on-demand computing services environment provides computing services to clients via the Internet. The on-demand computing services environment may be associated with skills that each identify the use of a one or more features of the environment. Skill ratings associated with one or more of the skills may be identified for a user account. A recommendation profile for the user account may be determined based on the designated skill ratings and a skill graph indicating dependency relationships between the skills. The recommendation profile may identify one or more training modules to be completed in association with the user account. A recommendation message including one or more recommendations selected from the recommendation profile may be transmitted to the client machine.
