[VELS] Quick Vic/Markbook Reporting Administrative Timeline

[Laurie Savage]

The relationship between subjects to classes is one-to-many, and one-to-many
between teachers and classes. You need to be able to identify classes
uniquely. We have at least 10 form groups per academic year!

Quick one Laurie .. do you really need the  07A 07B 07C bits when 07 will
do? From what I understand the software sorts out classes / students by
teachers for marking anyway and again into students for reports. I suspect
that Markbook exports course codes .. not class codes (or are these the same
things). 

Thanks for the cue about the last digit .. notice that the software rolls on
a digit for semesters etc so I will add that in for semester length courses.



Course    Classes
================ 
07ENGT1    07AEENGT1, 07BENGT1, 07CENGT1 ...
10SCIT4    10ASCIT4, 10BSCIT4 etc


Regards Roland

Hi Roland:
 
Can I suggest you apply even more detail in the subject 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.
 
Here are a couple of examples
 
Course    Classes
================
07ENGT1    07AEENGT1, 07BENGT1, 07CENGT1 ...
10SCIT4    10ASCIT4, 10BSCIT4 etc
 
If you use a system like this then you can do a search for *T4 in the
Open/Close subjects panel.
 
Are we having fun yet?
Cheers, Laurie

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. 

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. 

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.

Regards Roland

Hi there everyone in VELS land,

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

Cheers,

Kim
