What’s your perspective on digital assessment?

Jisc is inviting members and representatives of Professional Statutory and Regulatory Bodies (PSRBs) to take part in a survey exploring the use of digital tools, platforms and approaches in assessment and feedback.

The survey aims to capture your perceptions of the benefits and drawbacks of digital assessment in higher education, and the factors that influence your decision to promote or limit its use.

Your input will provide invaluable sights into how digital assessment is used, or might be used, to assess threshold levels of competence in programmes that are accredited, recognised or approved by your PSRB.

The survey closes on 1 May 2023. For any queries please contact Simon Walker: simon.walker@ucl.ac.uk.
