Assess21C ‒ Stage 2 Report

This report presents the findings from Stage 2 of the Assess21C initiative, exploring the challenge of assessing 21st century skills within project-based learning environments in higher and further education. It examines how skills such as collaboration, communication, creativity, leadership, and problem solving can be assessed more consistently and meaningfully, while providing educators and institutions with practical approaches to tracking students' development over time.

The report summarises feedback gathered from educators and learning organisations on a prototype assessment approach, highlighting its potential benefits, key implementation considerations, and opportunities for future development. It offers insights into issues such as assessment methodology, student and staff engagement, technology integration, and the value of evidencing transferable skills for both learners and employers.
