Dynamic workflows – at time of deployment


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


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


So what about a bit more innovation?

- Lets think about the individual?

- Save their stuff – and its theirs – they own it- Gather and merge with other stuff- Organise and use their stuff very flexibly- Save and curate for life- Map and remap to multiple frameworks- Showcase their ability/competence in all sorts of ways, and in

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
