What is the discovery tool?
» The discovery tool supports individual staff
working in universities, colleges and training
providers to reflect on their digital capabilities
» It presents a series of reflective questions that
relate to the different elements of capability
we have defined
» Questions are quiz-like and non-judgemental
» By answering the questions, staff are made
aware of digital skills they already have and
new ones they might try

» New platform ready for open pilot late 2017
