New Study Programmes Page
Achievements On Entry
Study Programmes
New data imports – mainly focussed on importing ‘hours’
Reflects changes to MIS – separating ‘qual’ and ‘non-qual’ activity
Enrichment and work experience pages improved in their own right
Colleges can decide what to import and which hours to add in the
calculation
All brought together in a new overall Study Programme page
This page also contains a review function
College management have yet to evaluate this feature and decide if and
how it might be used in 13-14
Configurable text
Course table specifies either ‘qual’…….
………or ‘non-qual’
Enrolment import
can now list hours
target can be default or specific for student
figure to show additional hours required
We then add in details of hours already captured elsewhere
And show how many hours are still
required to meet the target
Lower section then presents qualifications on entry and a table where
reviews can be recorded by staff
Please don’t forget that:
Some things may still change – the software
has not yet been released!
Some things may still need to be configured
Some things may not be used in 13-14
THANK YOU
