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.

Announcement (01 May 2009)

SQA are pleased to announce that further funding has been secured from the European Social Fund to enable the continuation of Skills for Work initiatives such as Deskspace. Delivery of Deskspace, free to all Skills for Work candidates, is therefore secured for the next academic year.

What do you think of Deskspace? (01 May 2009)

SQA has commissioned Inspire Research Ltd to conduct an independent survey of Deskspace. Skills for Work tutors and candidates are being asked what they do and don't like about Deskspace. Alison Muirhead from Inspire Research is leading this study. Alison will contact your learners at the start of May with details of how you can take part.

If you have any queries about the survey, please contact Alison Muirhead at inspire-research.co.uk
