Discover your Digital Skills at BCU and beyond

Once you access the site, click on Login.

You will first need to find Birmingham City University from the list of institutions and sign-in with your BCU account.

Next, select your role (student or staff) and your level or department in the University.

You can now click on the card to access the discovery tool for students or staff.

There are several options for you to choose from. Descriptions are available as to what each section does.

Once you start an questionnaire, you can save and exit at any point, meaning you can return to complete it later.

The questions ask you to select from a range of statements (choose all that apply) 

or ask you to grade your own confidence using a slider. The process will usually take around 15 minutes to complete.

Once you have completed the questions, you will be given a Digital Capability Report.

This can only be seen by you and will rate your capabilities, give you advice and guidance on how you can improve your skills.

If you leave the tool, and want to view your report again at a later stage they are stored in the Reports section of the site.

You can take the self-assessment as many times as you like.

You should click to log out, as the system doesn’t currently log users out automatically. This is important if you are using a shared machine to ensure your responses can’t be viewed by others. Further resources can be found on the Discover your Digital Skills Moodle page.
