FW: [Advisory] Online Reporting in Primary Schools

[Ray Tolley]

Hi, Fergus,

I agree with Tony up to a point, but 'reports' are always about past
experience and possibly previous teaching and learning styles.  I did a
quick phone-round of some of the suppliers but unfortunately they were all
on holiday.

I have my own ideas on the benefits of on-line reporting and will
'interrogate' leading known suppliers as to how they see on-line reporting
moving in the near future. - I will report back shortly - probably next
week.

Meanwhile, I would suggest that there are three different aspects to this
issue:

1.  The appropriate access to real-time reporting of progress through
activities completed using some form of assessment software like
'SmartAssess';
2.  The reporting written by teachers, that can be reasonably up-to-date,
such as provided by SERCO/CMIS/Facility;
3.  The formative and possibly informal reporting available through a good
e-Portfolio system.

I'm sure that there are several other competitive products - but firstly it
will depend on your present VLE provider.

PS:  BETT will be a good source of advice even if coloured by some degree of
'sales pitch'.

Best Wishes,

Colleagues,

Does anybody have any advice, hints or tips on developing online  
reporting in Primary schools? I am interested in examples of good  
practice and any suggestions colleagues may have to help avoid  
pitfalls in getting going. I am also interested in any schools that  
colleagues could recommend as examples of good practice in this area -  
especially in the North West of England. Any help, comments, etc  
appreciated.
I am happy to receive responses offline if colleagues prefer that. I  
would be happy to collate responses if anyone would be interested in  
receiving that.  Thanks in anticipation.

Best wishes for a Happy new Year

Fergus Reynolds
