Continuing the overviews of our apps, here is BRISC (the “BRookes Individual Skills Catcher” app).
This has been developed in conjunction with the Faculty of Business but it could be invaluable to any Brookes student.
The app is designed to allow students to simply and quickly capture personal reminders of employability skills they have gained, inside or outside of their course, enabling easy recall for later use in job or placement interviews. These skills, a valuable resource, could otherwise be overlooked or forgotten.
How it works
Students access the app either directly from within Moodle (Brookes Apps -> BRISC) or by logging-in to a mobile version using their usual Brookes credentials. The relevant skill heading can then be selected either from the 'Brookes Attribute' or 'CBI/NUS' categories or from a full alphabetical list.
Previous entries can be viewed or new entries can be added. New entries will have a title, a text body (what to remember) and, if required, a URL link to a further explanation or video. If relevant, a new entry can also be associated with one of the student's current modules.
Note: the app uses standard Moodle Blogs that can also be accessed from any PC, mobile device or Chromebook. Be aware that any entries made directly via Moodle itself would need to be flagged as 'draft' (private) to ensure confidentiality.

The mobile app can be downloaded for free from Google Play, the Apple App Store or the Windows Store.
Logging-in
Login is done with Brookes staff or student credentials, as for Moodle (staff or student number).

Categories
Once logged in a user will see the possible selection methods. They may then choose a skill category or a list of all skills.Skills

At this point the user can either select a previous entry to view or opt to add a new entry.
New Entry
New entries will have a title, a text body (what to remember) and, if required, a URL link to a further explanation or video. If relevant, a new entry can also be associated with one of the student's current modules.
Please note: mobile users will remain logged into the app unless they use the Logout button.
