Deskspace Mobile is a simplified version of the e–portfolio available in three different formats; basic, PDA/Smartphone and as an iPhone app (PebblePad version). Candidates are able to use their mobile phones to record evidence such as pictures and videos of practical activities for their Skills for Work courses, which can be sent straight to their e–portfolio account from their mobile phone. This service has been put in place to help improve access to the e–portfolio where access to IT suites are limited, and will allow pupils to record their learning immediately when out in the field.
SQA recommends that prior to use of the service centres check their existing policies around mobile usage and other relevant policies. Users will be asked to agree a disclaimer upon download that SQA will not be responsible for meeting any Internet access charges.
