#### 4.1.7 Evaluating the Feasibility of Functions (Step 5)  
According to the decision of partners and stakeholders, the evaluation of the \"feasibility\" of defined functions led to developing (collaboratively) their description. In addition, further function evaluation caused a merging of the first function (search engine) with the \begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{l c c c c c c c c c} \hline \hline F1. Search engine & 55.55\% & 83.33\% & 55.56\% & 66.67\% & 50.00\% & 66.67\% & 66.67\% & 33.33\% & 16.67\% & 61.11\% \\ \hline F2.

Table 4: Results of the second step of feasibility evaluation. last function (database/service offering different tools). The first function is eventually changed to \"search engine for finding information and tools\". Therefore, the number of functions reduced to seven, as addressed in Appendix B. Following the collective evaluation of the defined function, their definition is developed as presented below:  
* (Function 1)--search engine for finding available information and tools on EDENCP: provides a software system that is designed to carry out specific searches related to particular competencies (of members), courses, activities, and supporting tools. * (Function 2)--collaboration: deals with collaborative practices whereby some members work together to complete a task, solve a problem, and/or achieve a shared goal. * (Function 3)--managing training: focuses on flexible strategies that can properly manage different aspects of training from program creation to evaluation and prioritizing learning needs. * (Function 4)--training execution support: provides the needed support for (a) training execution, (b) learning engagement strategies, and (c) implementation of performance-based assessment for training proficiency. * (Function 5)--designing curricula: is a cyclical, and analytical process that helps create a training framework that is able to facilitate and guide the creation of training programs in a particular domain. It integrates different training elements such as learning strategies, processes, materials, and experiences that may help design and develop such training program instructions. * (Function 6)--the insertion of new competencies demands is the process of identifying and adding the key competencies and basic skills (e.g., cognitive skills of critical thinking, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills) required to perform teaching and training with success. This function supports the identification of competencies that are highly demanding for the companies. It is designed for three main situations: (a) when an employer recognizes that his company needs new workers, but the new workers only arrived from the university and do not have the specifically needed competencies; (b) when the employer recognizes that the existing workers need to improve their competencies or gain new ones for the specific tasks; or (c) when the worker recognizes (by himself/herself) that he/she needs to gain some particular competencies. The main consequences of this function are to improve the existing curricula or add new ones based on the demands of the companies.
