The document summarizes a meeting about developing digital capabilities. It provides an agenda for the meeting including updates on a digital discovery tool project, presentations from two colleges on developing digital skills for students and staff, and a discussion on how the tool can support students. Evaluation results are shared showing over 1,600 people from 86 institutions have used versions of the tool. Next steps include making the tool broadly available through a new Jisc service starting in September 2018.

It is: »A self-administered quiz about digital practices in education »Designed to give useful feedback including 'next steps' and links to resources » Reflective, informative and developmental »A pilot (not finished yet!) It is not: » An objective measure of digital competence or performance »A complete learning resource or course of study »Validated and proven in practice (we are still learning!) 10/01/18

- 10. Interim evaluation - comments 25/04/18 #digitalcapability http://ji.sc/building-digicap ‘I thought the data and insights it provided just based on a quick assessment was really good’ Did give me an idea of specific areas which would be worth working on, targeted action’ ‘I enjoyed using it.The report accurately recorded my strengths and weaknesses’ ‘it really makes you think about what you actually do, as opposed to what you think you do’

Editor's Notes
- #4: Hear more about the learner tool in the session with Sarah and Heather
- #7: Within each assessment there are 3 question types for each element of the quiz: There is a Confidence question: where the user rates their confidence with a digital practice or skill There is a ‘Best fit’ or ‘Depth’ question: where the user needs to select one response out of four that best describes their approach to a digital task And finally there is a ‘Grid’ or ‘Breadth’ question: where the user can select all the digital activities they do, from a choice of six All of the questions are intended to nudge the user to question themselves, clarify their understanding or help them think of examples of their digital skills And the questions either have been or are being user tested and will be reviewed before the full service version goes live in the Autumn
- #8: Once a user has completed all the questions within an assessment they are provided with a tailored report that for each element provides: Confidence level (developing | capable | proficient) Score Suggested next steps And useful resources
- #9: Hear more about the learner tool in the session with Sarah and Heather
- #13: Volunteers needed – user testing the site
- #14: And full resource set available from the project page. Community of practice – join mailing list. Next gathering in November, date tbc. Mention plan for larger open pilot from October 2017 using a newly revised tool based on feedback on a new platform
