It is an approach that aligns with competency-based education. Routine and longitudinal data are collected about learners’ competence, and their progress is regularly reviewed and analysed. Typically, a variety of assessment methods are used with the overall aim of allowing both learners and educators to gain an understanding of the extent of learning and to maximise feedback for optimal educational impact (assessment for learning). Eventually the process may be used for high-stakes decisions at the end of a programme or phase of study (assessment of learning). In this toolbox article the authors describe how they have developed a method of visually representing medical student attainment during programmatic assessment on a dashboard. This development required input from educators, faculty members and information technology staff. The graphs obtained can help students and staff to see how a student is performing over time. The authors share feedback on the approach from learners and faculty members and provide recommendations for readers who may wish to develop something similar. Funding: None.
