The University has made available a tool to help all students assess their digital capabilities in preparation for entering the digital workplace.
‘Digital capabilities’ has been identified as one of the most important career skills yet, according to Jisc’s Digital experience insights survey 2018, only 41% of UK students felt that their course prepared them for the digital workplace.
In response to this, the University is making a tool available to you that enables you to self-assess your own digital capabilities in six key areas:
1. ICT proficiency
2. Information, media and digital literacies
3. Digital creation, problem-solving and innovation
4. Digital communication, collaboration and participation
5. Digital learning and development
6. Digital identity and wellbeing
Once you've completed the self-assessment, you’ll receive a personalised report containing suggestions for the next steps, as well as online resources to further develop your skills.
While your responses are confidential to you, the University will have access to the aggregate results of these self-assessments. This means that we can identify gaps in our digital learning support and improve our institutional provision.
You can access the tool by logging in with your University username and password. Use the link below.
