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

Enrolment import can now list hours 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

And show how many hours are still required to meet the target 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

Thank You 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
