Over the last two years, Â鶹´«Ã½AV has been working to evolve and develop it’s EPA management system, Rubric. This system has recently seen it’s a third significant development.
The Â鶹´«Ã½AV Rubric portal allows training providers to access a live interface and the ability to manage the apprentice cohorts they have with Â鶹´«Ã½AV.
In modern education circles, rubrics have recently come to refer to an assessment tool. The first usage of the term is from the mid-1990s. Rubrics are seen to act as metadata, added to assessment text to indicate what constitutes an outcome. Heidi Goodrich Andrade, a rubrics expert, defines a rubric as "a scoring tool that lists the criteria for a piece of work or 'what counts.' – A perfect name for an EPA System we thought.
Rubric is a Microsoft Dynamics backed cloud platform which houses data within the UK and EU. It is a secure model which treats every access attempt as if it originates from an untrusted network. Known as zero-trust.
The Microsoft Power App, which houses all of our EPA data is a zero-trust access model, which helps mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and reduce the risk of data breaches.
The End Point Assessment management system (Rubric Mainframe) allows the apprentice/s data to be added to the system via the provide access portal and match with the ESFA database. All EPA gateway pre-requisites for the apprentice are uploaded via Rubric mitigating the need for lengthy email and evidence transfer.
