Could anyone help? Thanks in advance, Ken Knibb (Darwin Australia) WANTED: REPORTING SYSTEMS FOR SCHOOLS The staff of a Senior Secondary College of some 1400 students want a system containing report comments. Ideally they should be able to combine comments concerning work performance and behaviour. Currently we have two options: 1) Operate a highly centralised system. 2) Have a decentralised system using Macs. Option (2) is already happening to some extent with some staff using Word 4. The problem with this is that all they are really doing is typing and saving their comments for later use. Appreciate any suggestions/knowledge concerning what is done in other similar institutions. Learning Technology Systems specializes in instructional management systems. They have a very comprehensive DOS based system. They are planning to have modular DOS and Mac systems available in the near future.
