Working tools, with no form and no sign-up

Two templates we use ourselves before offering them to you. They work entirely independently of the platform and serve any quality unit whether or not they work with us — because a tool that needs a subscription to open is not a tool.

The assessment blueprint

Distributes exam marks across learning outcomes and Bloom's levels before the items are written, and computes the gap between target and actual automatically.

For: assessment leads, department heads, and anyone building a final exam

What is inside

  • An instructions sheet explaining how it is filled and read
  • A blank blueprint with room for twelve outcomes
  • A fully worked example for a 40-mark course
  • Editable lists for learning domains and Bloom's levels

What it flags

  • A negative gap between target and actual
  • An outcome covered by fewer items than the safe floor
  • Weight drifting more than 5% from the target proportion

Seven errors that invalidate evidence

A one-page checklist reviewed before the course report is filed: the error, why it matters, and how to fix it.

For: quality units, accreditation committees and programme coordinators

What is inside

  • Seven common errors written as checkable statements
  • A checkbox per item to fill in during review
  • A fix note for each error rather than only a description
  • Embedded Arabic fonts, so it prints as it displays

What it flags

  • Mapping done retrospectively, after the results
  • An undeclared threshold, or one that varies between courses
  • An outcome judged on two items

Why we give these away

Because an institution that fills in a blueprint once discovers for itself why a spreadsheet is not enough: the sheet governs one exam, but repeating that discipline across twenty courses and four years needs a system. We would rather you reached that conclusion with your own tools before we ask for a meeting.

No email required

Both files download in one click. We do not trade a file for your details.

Editable and quotable

Rebrand them, edit them, use them in your own documents. No attribution needed.

They work without the platform

Built to work standalone in Excel and PDF — no account and no integration needed.

When the template stops being enough

A blueprint governs one exam. Governing twenty courses every term, linking each item to its outcome, and measuring the quality of the items themselves — that is what the platform is for.
