E-assessment Tools

Smarter Assessment Through Digital Tools

We’ve been supporting universities and professional bodies with e-assessment solutions for years, helping them move away from paperwork and towards smarter, more efficient ways to track learning and progress. In recent years, the shift to digital has accelerated, with universities recognising the value of flexible, accessible tools that support learning anytime, anywhere.

Designed for Students, Built for Real-World Use

Students can log practice experience and assessments as they happen, whether they’re using a PC, tablet, or mobile device. Our mobile-first approach means that systems work smoothly on any screen size.

What Digital Assessment Can Achieve

We’ve seen first-hand the difference that digital assessment makes. At Bournemouth University, the midwifery programme adopted OPALBU, a custom e-assessment system which we developed. The impact was significant:

  • Final mentor interviews more than doubled in length, with richer, more meaningful feedback
  • 100% of interviews included student comments and were time-stamped for accuracy, compared to just 32% on paper
  • Mentors were more than twice as likely to identify clear next steps for learning, and those recommendations were both more specific and directive

Evidence Gathering

Learners can upload reflections, documents, and other materials to demonstrate learning, competency, and experience.

Assessor Feedback

Facilitates structured input from mentors and assessors, helping learners grow through ongoing, contextualised feedback.

Competency Checklists

Custom checklists help learners and assessors ensure all required skills and behaviours have been observed and recorded.

Digital Sign-off

Securely sign-off completed work, placements, or competencies. No paper required, no signatures missed.

Progress Tracking

Keep track of each learner’s development with clear visual indicators, so everyone knows what’s been achieved.

Assessment Mapping

Link assessments to learning outcomes or competency frameworks for clearer progress tracking.

Supporting Universities with Flexible E-Assessment

During the Covid-19 pandemic, universities that had already adopted e-assessment systems were better equipped to continue supporting students remotely. Our systems made it easy for tutors working from home to review work, give feedback, and track progress without disruption.

Our solutions are fully configurable, allowing us to quickly respond to changes. When the Nursing and Midwifery Council introduced emergency guidelines, we worked closely with our customers to reflect those changes swiftly – keeping students on track and compliant.
