The Modellers Without Borders Library Team is proceeding with its work.  In the early scoping discussions, it was agreed that a simple tool would be helpful, both for the users and the curators to gauge skill level.  

The curators will be labeling content based on skill level.  This tool will help them consistently accomplish that.  Library users will also find this rubric helpful in order to use the content most applicable to their learning goals and avoid the frustration of material drastically below or beyond their current skill level.

This multidimensional rubric was developed to accomplish that.  It is not meant to rigidly characterize a person’s ability.  Instead it is meant to help a modeller easily self-assess their skill level and prioritize areas for further development.
