What does the system do?
Digital Robot by TLRG is a suite of online tools enabling organisations to understand the digital capability of current or potential learners or employees.
The platform is mapped to the DigComp 3.0 Framework and can assess the digital capability and digital literacy of learners and staff against all 21 digital skills across the 8 levels/4 bands.
Digital Robot is a platform that provides access to digital capability assessments in the form of:
Digital Profiler
The Digital Profiler Questionnaire follows the DigComp Framework to identify a candidate’s current digital capabilities.
Think of the questionnaire as an initial pre-screening section against the 21 competency areas (used to build up a picture of the candidate’s digital capability based on their experiences), followed by 21 short knowledge questionnaires.
The pre-screening section helps to work out what difficulty level the candidate should start at for each of the 21 competencies that make up the DigComp focus areas. Then it takes the results of their answers in each section and decides if it needs more information and directs the candidate to either more difficult, or easier questions depending on how they’ve responded so far. This dynamic testing allows the system to narrow down to the most accurate capability level of the candidate without having to test every single level of the framework.
The entire questionnaire should take between 60-90 minutes to complete and can be accessed on a computer, tablet or smartphone with an internet connection.
The results from these completed questionnaires can be compared to profiles for courses or jobs to identify potential gaps or issues relating to digital capability.
The Digital Robot system provides users with the tools to consistently identify the digital capability requirements associated with effective participation in specific courses or jobs.
Digital Profiler - Course Aligned
Note: available in Digital Robot for Study systems only
The Digital Profiler - Course Aligned Questionnaire uses a Course Profile to determine which digital skills areas are included in the questionnaire (i.e., if a skills area is not identified as relevant to a specific course, then it is not included in the questionnaire).
The main difference in the structure of the questionnaire include:
- The pre-screening section is not included
- For each skill area relevant to the course, knowledge check questions start 1 band below the identified skill level, then moves up or down based on responses.
- Knowledge check questions will not go past the identified skill level.
Areas that are not required by the Course Profile are skipped in the questionnaire, reducing assessment time while still confirming whether the learner meets the required capability level.
The entire questionnaire should take roughly 45 minutes to complete and can be accessed on a computer, tablet or smartphone with an internet connection.
Note: if the Digital Profiler - Course Aligned function is switched on in your settings, this becomes the default. Any time a candidate accesses either version of the Digital Profiler questionnaire, if a course is selected at any time the questionnaire will default to the Course Aligned version.
Course Ready - Digital Readiness for Learning
The Course Ready - Digital Readiness for Learning Questionnaire (available in Digital Robot for Study systems) will give your organisation an understanding of how your learners will be able to engage with digital technologies used during the training process.
The entire questionnaire should take less than 10 minutes to complete and can be accessed on a computer, tablet or smartphone with an internet connection.
