Digital Capabilities Discovery Tool

The JISC Digital Capabilities Discovery Tool is a 15-20 minute online activity for Warwick students* that produces a digital capabilities profile and recommends areas for further development. This tool enables personal reflection on confidence and skills across a range of digital capabilities based on the six elements of digital capability (see image below).

For students there are digital capability question sets for 'Current students' and 'New Students'. Some departments may encourage students to complete this activity (e.g. as an induction activity), or at the start of each academic year perhaps. However, most students at the moment will take part in this activity independently.

Please note, the Student Opportunity Skills Team run the Warwick Award that encourages the development of 12 core skills, and completion of this Digital Capabilities survey can count towards that award if a student chooses to pursue that path. However, the student survey can be taken independently and participation in the Warwick Award is optional.
