Welcome to SQA Deskspace!

SQA Deskspace is an innovative ePortfolio system designed to support any learner; learning at any level.  How SQA Deskspace enhances teaching and learning:

  • It is being used in schools and colleges to support the Skills for Work programme.  'Users' of the e-portfolio are able to build a diverse collection of items related to their studies, personal development or any event of personal significance.
  • It is being used by students to collate work for assessment; to enhance personal development planning; to record progress on courses; and to support group work.
  • It is being used by teachers for sharing information with their students, for providing feedback on progress and, of course, to support assessment processes.
