Hi Lorna

 

Thanks for this.  Thought it was just our lot who won’t listen to Exams!!!!

 

Our MIS Manager and IS Manager are going to the Compass July Conference and I’ve asked to them to ask about Markbook/Pro-M/Pro-S too to see if there’s any more info they have available.

 

Anything to make life easier for the “precious” ones in the curriculum.

 

Although they all seem fine entering their results through the Grade Requests on Pro-S Web I’ve still had some who’ve been whingeing that they want the paper SRFs back…..over my dead body!!!!!

 

Thanks

 

Kate

Hi Kate

 

Our e-learning team started off down their own path too and we weren’t even aware that it was happening.

 

I’ve spent a lot of time trying to explain basedata – it’s sometimes hard to break the belief that all we do is sit candidates down in front of exam papers (if only it were that easy!).  I try to explain that if you think learning aim data is complex you need to multiply that out by X for all the different unit combinations that sit beneath a learning aim (and that Awarding Bodies have different structures for basedata, some don’t provide it) etc!

 

I’ll be in touch as soon as I’ve caught up with my colleague.

 

Regards

Lorna

Hi Lorna

 

This is very interesting.  Our E-learning Manager who manages Pro-M told our curriculum that they couldn’t import from MarkBook in Pro-M into Pro-S, then half way through the year said oh yes you can then as it came to results processing in June told me oops no they can’t MarkBook doesn’t talk to Pro-S so you’ll have to train them all on how to do it all over again on Pro-S.  Needless to say they are all a bit miffed!!

 

I would be interested to know how this works too.

 

I did suggest at the time of them setting up MarkBook that they use the Boards basedata as the files ultimately have to use the Boards coding but they were insistent on using Ofqual data so they screwed it up themselves from the off.

 

None of them seem to understand that the Boards use codes such as 20157C to identify modules and Unit 1 means nothing to the results processing dept at the AB.  There are hundreds of Unit 1’s across all the programmes they offer.

Hi All

 

We made some progress with transferring results from Promonitor into Prosolution – between myself and one of our IT Team we are in the initial stages of that part of the process.  I’ll speak to my colleague as I’m sure he won’t mind sharing information about the IT side.  We started by importing basedata into Promonitor rather than the Ofqual register and then Geoff did some techie stuff in the background to link all back into PS.  Our plan is to get this working properly next year ….

 

Regards

Lorna

Hi

 

Is there anyone in ProSolution land currently using ProMonitor to capture and import BTEC results who wouldn’t mind me picking their brain at some point please?

 

Many thanks
