Gigajam’s ePortfolio scores the exercises uploaded and saves it as evidence for the University, as well as tracking when students are ready to receive an award. Automated scoring is available using Gigajam’s unique Xtractor/Analyser software which captures performances from digital instruments, especially good for drums and keyboards. You can also upload Youtube videos of students performances and link to their portfolio and provide a mark in our teacher marking engine. All again stored automatically for the University.

The University of West London use a teacher verification model so students do not need to sit an examination, at great cost of time and money, but simply have their portfolio confirmed by you your teacher. The certificate can then be ordered online when all the exercises, performances and questions have been completed, as the required standard. The grades are affordable at between £10 and £15.
