16 NovChange of access to Early ABLES in 2022
Early ABLES is a strength and observation-based online assessment for learning tool. It supports early childhood educators to provide a more individualised learning experience for children aged two to five years with disabilities and/or developmental delay. From 2022 Early ABLES is being moved to a new IT platform called Ruby.
The current Early ABLES platform will cease to be available on 31 December 2021. All historic data will be migrated over to the new Ruby platform. The new platform has been designed by the University of Melbourne to create a more robust and intuitive experience of assessment for its users and improve data security.
Current users of Early ABLES will receive further information about the Early ABLES migration from the earlyables@education.vic.gov.au email address. Services will receive a login email in January 2022 from the University of Melbourne and will be asked to add the educators using Early ABLES at their service. This will provide educators with access to commence using Early ABLES in February 2022.
New users of Early ABLES in 2022 will have access to the new platform.
