MAIN FEATURES
Plans & Tasks
The initial gateway allows system users to create and plan the training programme, using either ad hoc requirements or accessing pre-defined standards and qualifications from the application's Library module. During the programme the plan may be updated, reviewed, and revised depending on the user's role and access rights.
e-Portfolio Management
An easy to use interface enables the users (candidates or assessors) to record activities against their plans and upload supporting evidence, ready for assessment and verification. Evidence may be in a variety of formats, usually:
- Documents
- Video
- Images/photos
- Observation reports
Assessment Tools
A variety of assessment tools are available within the application, some of which are controlled as 'online' assessments, while others may be managed offline with results recorded via the portfolio manager and then 'marked/graded' by an assessor.
Assessments types include:
- 360° feedback
- Objective/target based appraisals
- CPD monitoring
- Online multiple choice and case study tests;
- Essay and comprehension tests
Assessors evaluate the portfolio of evidence and appropriately accept, request more or reject evidence.
Workflow & Messages
The system monitors activities and actions taken by users and handles key workflow tasks through the portfolio assessment process.
An example of the messages available include:
- New portfolio created
- New evidence uploaded
- Evidence reviewed/rejected/accepted
- Portfolio approved by internal assessor/line manager
- Portfolio ready for certification/verification
- Portfolio certified
