New Assessment Platform for the University of Warwick
Axia Digital is proud to have partnered with the University of Warwick’s Centre for Teacher Education (CTE) to deliver a new digital solution designed to support the assessment and progress tracking of primary, secondary, and international PGCE trainees.
Following a successful competitive tender in early 2024, the Axia team collaborated closely with the CTE to create a custom a platform which meets the complex needs of teacher training programmes.
About the Platform
The system streamlines assessment, portfolio creation, and real-time progress monitoring—replacing spreadsheets and manual processes with a centralised, user-friendly interface. Key features include a custom-built Collaborative Assessment Document, flexible role-based dashboards, and built-in reporting tools for programme leads. The platform also accommodates dynamic mentor assignments and varying course requirements across PGCE tracks.
This fully web-based solution is accessible across devices, making it ideal for fast-paced, practice-based learning environments. The Warwick project adds to Axia Digital’s growing portfolio of platforms that support students and staff across higher education.
Feedback and Reflections
As the first year of rollout ends, feedback from trainees, general mentors, and CTE staff has been overwhelmingly positive.
Richard Etheridge, Axia Digital’s Managing Director, said:
“As the husband of a primary school teacher, I’ve long believed our solutions could support student teachers in capturing meaningful evidence from their workplace experience. We were delighted to win the Warwick tender. Teachers do an incredible job educating our children – they work hard and long hours. If our platform can simplify the assessment process, we help ensure the focus remains where it matters: developing the student teacher and supporting their pupils.”
Abigail Ball MA, PCTHE, SFHEA, SCMALT, Assistant Professor: Head of Technology Enhanced Learning, in CTE added:
“Working with Axia has been a pleasure. From the outset they have been professional and responsive. They have taken the time to understand our needs and worked collaboratively with us to develop a bespoke platform that enables us to manage our PGCE Professional Practice module effectively and efficiently. Feedback from trainees, mentors and CTE staff has been universally positive with one lead mentor commenting that it is ‘really good to have all this information at our fingertips.’ Max and the team are approachable and really want to find a solution that works for us.”
