Published requirement description

Success+ (the Digital Assessment Centre) began in August 2019 as an 80 PC lab running digitised exams for courses across the University. Since covid-19, the Centre has adopted a model where it facilitates students taking exams from their home, offering various levels of remote invigilation. This facilitation involves the Centre offering the following to staff: the digitisation of exam papers, liaising with students, invigilation of exams, technical support, and training staff on how to mark using the digital assessment software.

The Centre currently adopts a dual model where students without the necessary equipment, or who do have not a place to work from home, come to campus for their assessments (this is usually between 0 - 10% of students taking an exam). The University plans to continue using this dual model.
