Interpret ASSESS Capability Assessments

ASSESS is the assessment creation product in our TRACCESS Solutions Portfolio. It allows you to test knowledge transfer and on-the-job capability. Using the ASSESS application, you can create comprehensive assessments and then link those assessments to a task within TRACCESS CI. The results of the assessment (scores) are recorded in real time and stored within the employee’s task record. ASSESS houses thousands of banks of questions of various types (drag & drop, multiple choice, short, answer, essay, survey, etc.), driven from a database where you can categorize the actual questions to a specific task, and then you can retrieve and re-use these questions, whenever you are assessing the knowledge or the capabilities.

Note: ASSESS integration in your competency intelligence system is decided by your System Owner. If this feature is not turned on, you will not see any ASSESS functions.

ASSESS enables the integration of capability assessments throughout the learning experience.

Employees can

• view assessments immediately from TRACCESS CI

• request a capability assessment from their Supervisor

• access feedback and scoring through a Coaching Report

Managers/ Supervisors can

• author questions using wizards

• store their question banks in a question/ assessment database

• author assessments via Web

• obtain comprehensive reporting

The following graphic illustrates a sample ASSESS Capability Assessment.

Within TRACCESS, an ASSESS Capability Assessment is used by several roles to achieve different purposes:

• Subject Matter Experts

• add a Capability Assessment to a Task, specify the session.dll and report locations, set the Assessment ID from ASSESS, add/ remove experts for the Capability Assessment.

• put the completed capability assessment online

• Supervisors - access the Knowledge Assessment attached to a particular Task by taking either a Practice or Final Assessment.

A completed final assessment that obtains the set pass mark will satisfy the Practical component of the Task, and therefore turn the Practical component of the Task to black.
