(grin) the fun starts this Wednesday. I have to start configuring the copies of Markbook on the teacher laptops to hook into the update server, then figure out the interim report template. Whilst the USB keys have probably served us well, time to move onto using the update sever .. wish us luck!

naming and set up a reporting period discriminator as the last 1 or 2 characters
in your courses' i.d.s. If you are using Markbook it will be much easier to
select and lock down reporting periods if you do that.</font></span></div>

<div></div>Not so sure about timeline, but at this point I am sorting out the
FirstClass database before we start our import of teachers, students and
classes. <br><br>I have been encouraging some extra rigor in our student
enrollments, and sorting out all the class codes (you must get these right) We
changed from generic names such as "English", "Maths" and "sem2ceramics10" to
07eng, 08mat and 10arcer2 .. details are in the manual / handbook. <br><br>Hope
to finish it all this week so I can start work on our interim report template.
Thank goodness it is only a single page template and 500 printouts. At least it
sets things up for the mid-year reports.<br><br>Regards Roland <br><br>

there everyone in VELS land,<br><br>We are runnning Quick Vic @ our school (as
many are) for the first time this<br>year and was wondering if anyone had any
timelines to share from previous year/s<br>with regard to the practical use of
this package (or Markbook) in their school. <br>What I am chasing is detail
with regard to reasonable deadlines for staff, for<br>myself as the Quick Vic
administrator etc. A basic word doc. would do just
fine.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Kim<br><br>---<br>Kim Gration<br>ICT
