About the project

What is the benefit to students?

  • Learner receives feedback from more than one source (balanced view?)
  • Feedback can be available digitally and not dependent on meetings or lecturer timescales
  • Provides a very focussed platform for learner and lecturer to work on development needs for mocks and tests
  • Promotes ownership of learning and collaboration skills in learners
  • All BTEC learners in the Business department but can be rolled out to any department/educational organisational that has Google

How will the impact of the project be measured?

  • Level of confidence indicators prior and after use of digital skills applied to controlled test activities
  • Higher level of adoption of digital skills for self and peer assessment activities
  • Increase in speed of turnover of the assessment of mocks and tests
  • Evidence of learner developing skills in communicating with others
  • Ultimately (but not testable during the life of the project), better exam/test results

What will the outcome be?

  • Training for learners on assessment against marking grids or test parameters
