ABLEWA – new platform (Ruby)

School leaders and teachers are advised that the Abilities Based Learning Education, Western Australia (ABLEWA) assessment and reporting tools are being moved to a new platform called Ruby.

Ruby has been designed to create a more robust and intuitive experience of assessment for its users. It has improved data security and data privacy controls.  One of the changes is that schools will be able to manage and register their teachers, which will each require their own password. Schools will also be able to move students from class to class and archive the students who have left your school.

The current ABLEWA platform will be open for assessment as usual until the end of the current assessment period i.e. end of Semester 1.  Once ABLEWA is closed there will be a period when you cannot enter new assessment data. We anticipate this will be over weeks 1 and 2 of Term 3. During that time, you will be able to view your previous assessments and reports in the old ABLEWA platform.

All historic data from ABLEWA will be migrated over to the new platform. Once the new platform is live you will be able to access all assessment information for your students.

Support materials to assist teachers in using the new platform will be made available at https://k10outline.scsa.wa.edu.au/home/resources/ablewa/getting-started-with-ablewa at the commencement of Term 3.
