Students benefit from new CSL features

New developments in practical skills assessment

Veterinary students can now benefit from faster, easier use of the Central Skills Log (CSL), a practical assessment tool developed by the awarding body Central Qualifications (CQ).

A number of new features have been added to the software, used for recording and monitoring clinical skills, to allow more efficient use by students, tutors and verifiers.

CQ offers a range of qualifications for the veterinary and animal-related industries. Among other enhancements, its students now have more options for TimeLog reports, which record time spent working in practice.

Printable versions of TimeLogs can now be produced for particular dates, a feature that will also benefit internal and external verifiers.

The recording and monitoring of evidence has also been improved, allowing tutors to view recordings by the student and notes from the internal verifier under the evidence tab.

Similarly, tutors can add notes, images and documents to tasks for students and at a simple click of the mouse, these notes can be shared with other tasks and units where appropriate. Students can also transfer recorded skills to other relevant tasks or across units.

To improve speed of use, notifications can be filtered by adding searchable tags to sent and received notifications. This helps CSL users to avoid trawling through a build-up of notifications to find certain correspondence.

Finally, once the CSL is completed and the student has requested a certificate, they can view its progress while recorded evidence is checked and verified by the internal verifier, and see when the external verifier has confirmed CSL completion. Once the certificate is complete, it can then be downloaded as a PDF.
