Hi All

 

I am in the process of thinking about setting up an electronic tracking
system to enable different staff to track the interventions that students
have experienced within the University. Ideally this system needs to do the
following:

*         Be flexible to enable different data to be recorded

*         Be accessible by both staff and student

*         Track a student throughout their time at University (and
preferably pre-registration/post graduation)

 

I've thought about the following as possible ways to do this:

*         PebblePad (with the student sharing an asset with the relevant
staff members)

*         Blog/Wiki in Blackboard or elsewhere where staff can comment on
entries/make entries

*         Adapting use of our SITS based student record system (but
currently students do not have the same access rights as staff so this might
be difficult)

*         Access database on a shared drive (but again issues with staff and
students having access to the data)

*         A N Other tool (e.g. using Moodle to bypass pre and post study
restrictions on access to institutional system)

 

Have any of you got an electronic records system and if so what is it and
how does it work? Ideally I want staff from a range of areas to be able to
access the data (e.g. personal tutor, Learner Development Unit staff, other
support staff) as well as the student. And it needs to be capable of
recording a reasonable length of text in order to record meaningful
information. I'd like to see the tool being used by the student to reflect
on their progress and staff can help the student manage any developmental
activities. It may also be useful for it to tie in to PDP. (not asking for
much am I ;-))

 

Soooo if you have any words of wisdom or ideas for how this might work I'd
love to hear from you!

 

Best wishes
