Dynamic workflows – at time of deployment

5. Inspired assessment learning technology&
Sharing our experiences about observational
assessments……..
• All try and assess an individuals’ performance in a certain area based on
skill, ability, behaviour and outcome.
• Flexible & Alternative Workflows
• Which device, who owns device?
• Connectivity – ability to work without connection
• Feedback rules, moderation rules
• Verification and fidelity
• Dynamic user engagement – users unknown to system
• Multiple roles
• Variable rubrics

6. Inspired assessment learning technology&
WHY MOBILE?.......Key benefit opportunity areas
• Faster feedback gives better student support and more time for
practice and achievement
• Reduce cost, errors and delays of paper based systems
• It can be physically the best/only method in many situations
• You can also capture video, photos, audio as evidence
• Responsive, authentic and immediate
• Improve security and fidelity of evidence
• Improve communication/support between student and assessor
• Monitor progress of remote students and intervene earlier

different formats/layouts
- Use with a CV/Resume
- Use to prove CPD later
- Use to evidence competence/ability for employer or
professional body
- Showcase activity on projects – project updates
