Introducing the WCS Digital Assessment Toolkit: Your Guide to Digital Assessment Tools
We are excited to introduce the WCS Digital Assessment Toolkit, a new online resource designed to help staff at West College Scotland make informed decisions about digital assessment tools. You can explore the toolkit here: Digital Assessment Toolkit
Why Was the Toolkit Created?
Assessment is a key part of the learning journey, and choosing the right digital tools can enhance both the student experience and the effectiveness of assessment methods. With the increasing reliance on blended and online learning, we recognised the need for a central resource to guide staff in selecting appropriate digital tools for different types of assessments.
How Can the Toolkit Help You?
The WCS Digital Toolkit provides a structured overview of various digital assessment tools, outlining their suitability for specific assessment types such as:
Examinations – Tools like Moodle Quiz for secure online tests.
Case Studies & Written Assignments – Turnitin for submission and academic integrity.
Dissertations & Portfolios – Moodle and Onenote for structured submission and feedback.
Listening & Oral Assessments – Google Forms and Teams for interactive assessment.
Practical & Performance-Based Assignments – Moodle Database, Stream, and YouTube for dynamic assessment solutions.
Simulations & Real-World Scenarios – Digital tools that support immersive, scenario-based learning.
Each tool is reviewed with a focus on ease of use, integration with our existing systems, and the benefits it offers to both staff and students.
We Need Your Feedback!
This toolkit is designed for you, and we want to make sure it meets your needs. Please take some time to explore the site and let us know what you think. Your feedback will help us refine the toolkit and ensure it remains a valuable resource.
