17. Accessing your visualisations
» Enter your unique data visualisation password on the ‘Welcome’ page
» Select the appropriate tab to view the data you are interested in:
Provides access
to staff data
visualisations
Provides access to
staff and student
grid question
responses
Provides access
to student data
visualisations
18. What information do the visualisations provide?
Both the staff and student visualisations provide information on:
» number of completions by department (staff) or subject discipline (students)
» total number of completions
» number of responses per question set
» digital capability scoring bands (by organisation, subject discipline and department*)
» sector comparisons for digital capability scoring bands
* staff only
The Grid responses tab provides:
» % grid question set responses (so that you can see the most and least popular choices
by your staff and students)
19. 'by department' and 'by subject discipline'
» In your visualisation reports ‘by department’ and ‘by subject discipline’ is
based on the fixed drop-down options that your staff or students selected
when they signed up to the discovery tool.
» Full details on what these are can be found in the staff and student sign up
guides available from the ServiceWebsite: https://bit.ly/2RbEfvI (note you
will need to be logged in to see this page)
20. Question set and date selection options
»Your organisations data will default to responses provided to
the ‘Overall digital capabilities’ question set and the entire
data period for your organisation.
»You can change which question set data you are viewing and
the data period by changing these using the drop down boxes.
21. Staff or student response
by question set
Total staff or student
completions
Number of completions
by department (staff)
or subject discipline
(students)
(per question set)
Overall organisation and
sector digital capability
scoring bands
Question set & date
selection options
Sector digital capability
scoring bands by
department (staff only) or
subject discipline (per
question set)
What data do the
visualisations
provide?
Digital capability scoring
bands by department or
subject discipline (per
question set)
22. Number of completions by department
» This provides the number of completions per department (staff) or
subject discipline (student) by date period.
» The date period defaults to ‘All’ but you can change this in the ‘Survey
Start Date’ drop down box.
23. Staff/student responses by question set
This data shows you how many:
› questions sets have been completed: ‘Done’
› question sets have been started (or are in the process of being
retaken) but not completed: ‘In Progress’
24. Total staff & student completions
»This provides the total number of staff or students who have
completed or started at least one question set in the discovery tool
during the date period selected
»This number will be smaller than the total number of question sets
completed where staff or students have completed more than one
question set
25. Digital capability scoring bands: by dept & subject
» This provides details of the digital capability scoring bands for the selected
question set by subject discipline (relevant staff and students) or department
(staff only)
» The numbers on each of the coloured bars represent the number of staff or
students within that particular scoring band.
» Only departments where 5 or more staff have completed that question set will
show in this view.
26. Sector digital capability scoring bands by dept/subject
» This provides details of the digital capability scoring bands for the selected
question set by sector and department or subject discipline.
» To view details of the % of staff/students in each scoring band simply hover over
the number with your mouse and this data will be shown.
27. Organisation and sector digital capability scoring bands
» This provides you with the overall digital capability scoring bands of all
staff or students within your organisation (visualisation on the left) for the
selected question set, and also provides this data for your institutions
sector too (visualisation on the right).
28. Grid question responses
Some notes on the
filter options:
» Always select a single
question set (never
‘All’)
» Level of study only
applicable to student
question sets
» Department only
applicable to staff
question sets
» Will need to use
‘Digital capability
area’ when
downloading
29. Navigating grid question responses
» Grid question responses can be long
reports
» This has implications for their
navigation and downloading them
» To download grid question response
data you will need to use the Digital
capability area filter
» Full guidance on how to do this can
be found in the Discovery tool data
visualisations guide here:

scroll bars
needed
when
navigating
grid
reports
30. Downloading your data
»Your data can be downloaded in two different formats as a PDF or
Image
»You will find the download feature at the bottom right of the page
you are viewing
»This will download the version of the report that you can see on the
screen - to download data for different question sets, or different
months, change these using the drop down menus in the top right
hand section of the report before downloading.
»Remember that grid question response data needs to be
downloaded in sections
31. Logging out
»To ‘log out’ of your data visualisation:
› Click on the home icon
OR
› Select any of the other icons in the left hand
dashboard menu.
32. Report update frequency

Reports are updated
fortnightly – in the
middle and at the end
of each month.
33. Who can view your institutional data visualisations?
»Only staff who the institutional lead has requested access
for can see the ‘Data’ icon in their dashboard
»If you have staff that you would like to have access to your
data dashboards, please email the project mailbox to
request this: DigitalCapability@jisc.ac.uk
»Access can only be provided to users who have registered
with the discovery tool, so please ensure this has
happened before putting in a request
34. Making use of your data
» Guidance originally developed as part of the pilot project for the discovery tool –
in the process of being updated.
» However, it is still a useful starting point for considering how your data could be
used:
› Use number of staff completions to explore engagement
https://bit.ly/2DxSsQe
› Use scoring band data with caution
– Consider the relative importance of the different
digital capability elements across the different
roles or students within your organisation
› Useful for starting conversations with:
– HR/staff development
– Teaching staff and their representatives
– IT and e-learning teams
– Budget-holders and strategic managers

Editor's Notes
Jisc’s Building digital capability service provides:
Our Discovery tool, an empowering first step for staff and students to reflect on their digital capabilities. It will help them identify current strengths and areas for development. On completion, your staff and students will receive a personalised report with suggested next steps and links to free resources that can help them develop further. And new this year, you can add your own training resources.
For leaders, our organisational models set out what a digitally capable organisation might look like, and provide a step by step approach to help you wherever you are on your journey. Data dashboards provide a picture of how your staff and students feel about their digital skills and where further training may be beneficial.
Our service website helps you to find practical advice and guidance, whether you are interested in your own (or your students) development, are supporting others or are leading change.
Our community of practice is the place for staff and leaders to share experiences and spark ideas. Subscribing to the service will provide you with 2 priority places per organisation at each of our twice yearly events.
If you’re looking for more, our range of discounted training courses take you further and provide the support that you and your staff might need
We also offer expert consultancy to help you achieve your goals
All our resources have now moved here to our new service website – so the digital capability framework, profiles and other resources can be found here as well as summary information on the service and access to the discovery tool, and case studies and training opportunities. Currently refreshing all the profiles and frameworks for Digifest.
Developing others – find frameworks, profiles and curriculum confidence materials for supporting the embedding of digital skills in the curriculum.
BUT IMPORTANTLY ALL GUIDANCE ON THE DISCOVERY TOOL AND ITS EMBEDDING
Discovery tool unpacked – find the PDFs of all question sets; background on question design; description of question elements; and further information on resources and their selection process.
Planning for implementation – overall guidance on ensuring the tool sits within the bigger picture of your organisational goals, structures and processes. Including a proforma of questions to get you started and guidance around stakeholder engagement and planning for evaluation.
Engaging others – guidance on six principles for engaging users; posters to support communication (BEING UPDATED); planning support and incentives and barriers
Making sense of your data – Heather already touched on, and guidance will follow on resource addition.
BUT FAQs and Glossary may also be useful.
Page is also where the guidance on signing in for staff and students can be found.
Whilst the discovery tool implementation guidance looks at how the tool sits within the wider organisational context; this sections focuses more on approaches to organisational digital capability as a whole. The model breaks down into 4 steps different stages in the journey – and provides actions and resources to support each stage. Here you can find an organisational audit tool to assess where you are in the initial stages of the journey; and resources and guidance for HR teams around the various HR functions and how they can input into the institution wide approach to staff capability.
Initial calls – to better understand your context; discuss implementation plans and identify support needs. LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVEN’T YET SHARED ANY TIMES FOR THIS.
Will be sharing a feedback form for you as organisations to share your thoughts on how well the service is meeting your, your student, and staff needs to inform those review conversations.
The Jisc digital capability framework has been influential across the sector in informing how we describe and understand what digital capabilities are and is now a core part of the Building digital capability service.
It starts from the perspective that digital capabilities are those that enable an individual to live, learn and work in a digital society.
It provides one way of thinking about staff and student digital capabilities. It provides a single, generic description that everyone can relate to.
But we know that people don’t set out to become ‘digitally capable’ in a general way. They set out to learn a particular subject, to research a particular topic, to achieve particular tasks, to work towards particular goals in their career. So the framework has to be adapted to make sense in very different settings.
