Practical Assessments with SkillsBase: Revolutionising Efficiency and Support

Jul 16, 2024

At SkillsBase, we continually strive to innovate and enhance the tools available to educators and assessors. The SkillsBase Practical Assessment Feature is designed to transform the way practical assessments are conducted, making them faster, more efficient, and fully traceable digitally.

Efficiency and Digital Traceability

The SkillsBase Practical Assessment Feature streamlines the assessment process, allowing assessors to complete assessments quickly and efficiently. The automation of repetitive tasks means less manual input and more time saved. As well as this, this digital, paperless solution ensures all assessment data is securely stored in the cloud. This not only ensures that no data is lost in case of connection issues or app crashes but also offers a safety net for assessors, allowing them to access and retrieve data anytime.

Enhanced Support and Learning

The SkillsBase Practical Assessment feature is designed to support assessors in their roles, making the process of conducting assessments smoother and more manageable. Assessors can bulk complete practical assessments, issue certificates remotely, and customise assessments to fit their needs. Practical assessments are an excellent way to reinforce classroom-based learning. The app-based assessments are fully customisable and can be accessed through the SkillsBase Assessment Portal, offering flexibility and convenience.

Operator Panel Capabilities for Practical Assessments

The SkillsBase operator panel offers assessors extensive customisation and control over practical assessments. Assessors can create custom categories and questions to suit specific training needs or industry standards, allowing for tailored assessment structures that accurately reflect required skills and competencies. They can set specific answer options, such as “Fail,” “Warning,” or “Pass,” ensuring clarity and standardisation across assessments.

Additionally, the panel allows assessors to view responses for each delegate, providing a comprehensive overview of individual performance. Assessors can also utilise the platform’s colour-coded system to indicate answer severity. For example, “Fail” can be marked in red, “Warning” in amber, and “Pass” in green. This system facilitates immediate recognition of areas needing improvement and enhancing the feedback process.

Live Invigilation and Remote Proctoring

Another key benefit of the SkillsBase Practical Assessment feature is its live invigilation and remote proctoring capabilities, maintaining the integrity of the assessment process. Assessors can edit answers, attach photos (e.g., images of delegates wearing the correct PPE), and provide real-time feedback for delegates.

In conclusion, the SkillsBase Practical Assessment Feature is a comprehensive solution that enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of practical assessments. By leveraging advanced technology, SkillsBase is committed to providing tools that not only meet but exceed the expectations of our users.
