    Are you digitally fluent?

    SQA partner organisation Jisc, is actively looking for people to undertake a survey to assess their digital literacy/fluency. Fully anonymised data will be shared with SQA and used for future engagement work with Academy users. If involved, you would be given a report showing how fluent you are, with links to resources you can use to improve in areas where you are less fluent. To join in this innovative project access the survey here: https://jisc.potential.ly/signin using the code: dcap17! when prompted in the login process. For staff and appointees, select either SQA or start typing Scottish ... and the correct organisation should show for selection. Good luck!

    Note: 

    This is a pilot project and this is due to end on on the 31st May 2018. After that point, as a user you will continue to have access to the tool till the 13th July 2018.    **Please ensure that if you have completed the survey that you download your report before the 13th July to ensure you don’t lose any of your data.
