Self Determination Theory identifies three innate needs that, if satisfied, allow optimal function and growth: Competence, Relatedness and Autonomy. Students can develop new cognitive skills better if they are intrinsically motivated to learn.
In this context, Skill Trees can help increase the level of autonomy in the learning process. They can be used as gamification element to help students acquire serious skills in a fun way.
Education
We all understand well the idea of a normal educational curricula: a series of classes that combined together lead to some form of degree, all marked by specific explicit checks and markers. While the specific of this educational approach are worth a review, there are aspects of this approach that are sound:
- clear markers of progress
- shared understanding of the basic level of knowledge of an individual
The linear approach has limitation, especially in erasing individual interests and skills. These skills can be connected and interrelated in trees, that build up in incremental steps. Borrowing from game design, skill trees can help regain the student’s control to learn skills at their own pace and of their own interest.

Managers or company trainers can create skill trees with this application and choose whether the employees are allowed to update the skill tree themselves or keep full control over completion status. You can keep full control if you want to see which employee is more complete or comes to mind for a certain job or position. Otherwise, you can also have employees update the completion status and you can monitor their progress.
Sports
As trainer of a team, you can use skill trees to give team members a clear path to becoming a better player. You can define each skill that is necessary for becoming a complete master, and increase the level of difficulty going down the tree.
- clear description of skills
- explanations and videos for every skill
Team members can now train more effectively and in the area of interest. As trainer of the team, you can keep track of the progress of each player in the team. You can also mark skills completed during training or games.
Give clear guidance to your team members and let them train more effectively.

Trainers can create skill trees with this application and choose whether the team members are allowed to update the skill tree themselves or keep full control over completion status. You can keep full control if you want to see (as trainer) which player is more complete or comes to mind for a certain position on the field. Otherwise, you can also have team members update the completion status and you can monitor their progress.
Monitor progress
You can create student accounts in the application and assign your SkillTree to each student. You can then keep track of the progress on the student monitoring page.
Optionally, you can keep full control over the completed state of each skill. You can adjust the settings of your SkillTree and not allow students to mark skills as complete.
