We have recently built an import package for the Edval timetabling system, adding a another timetabling package to the expanding list of systems that DayMap integrates with. The team at Edval were extremely helpful and demonstrated an impressive willingness to resolve integration issues for a very successful outcome.
Special interest groups, such as sporting or musical groups, can now be created and edited in an instant by an administrator. This will provide even more flexibility for managing and grouping students including better attendance management for excursions and VCE students.
A new “Entry Level” of Daymap has been introduced to make it even more affordable for schools to implement effective electronic roll marking and attendance management.
This is the perfect solution for schools who simply want to implement electronic roll marking without having to commit to elaborate and expensive IT solutions. Contact us for pricing.
Daymap is again proud to be a sponsor of the annual VITTA Conference and Expo, to be held at Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse on the 19, 20 and 21st of November. Please take the time to come and visit our stand.
The programme details and registrations are available at http://www.vitta.org.au/conference/2007/.
Daymap is now available as a hosted solution to customers who are using ‘The Timetabler’ from Timetabling Solutions.
This new solution is perfect for smaller schools - there are no infrastructure costs, no IT support costs and it is probably more reliable and secure than a school network. Not only that, we can have you up and running within hours.
Daymap has been nominated as a preferred supplier of attendance software for the Yarra Valley eLearning Community, a cluster-based e-rich learning and teaching environment. Daymap will integrate with Studywiz, the secure online virtual learning environment which was chosen by the YVeLC.
Mooroolbark College, the first school in this cluster to adopt Daymap, has had a smooth and successful implementation and have commented on the positive effect Daymap’s use has had on the uptake of their digital learning environment.
CheckIn has been developed for the quick and easy management of students who arrive late to school. Using swipe card and optional touch screen technology, students can move through this process quickly and get to their classroom. All data is managed within Daymap for inclusion in all reporting.
CheckIn is an optional extra that can be purchased with any of the levels of Daymap.
These design seminars are primarily for our existing customer base to contribute and participate in group discussion on the future development of Daymap, however the sessions are open to anyone who would like to come along and see what Daymap has to offer. Invitations have been sent out to all Daymap schools. Please register your interest info@loopsoftware.com.au
The seminar dates and locations are as follows:
Dromana Secondary College, 20th March, 1pm
Ballarat high School, 31st May, 1.30pm
Microsoft Office Southbank, 5th June, 1.30pm
Loop Software is please to announce work has commenced with Timetabling Solutions on developing links between Daymap and The Timetabler to allow tight and seamless integration with Daymap to provide schools with a complete solution for timetabling, electronic roll marking and classroom management. This partnership will allow Daymap to act as class room extensions to The Timtabler bringing the advantages of both products to the whole school community.
Both companies recognise that their respective products enjoy a professional reputation in the market and will enhance each other greatly.
If you are a school using The Timetabler you can use your Software Maintanence Username and Password to access the Daymap online trial.
Daymap has added new features as a result of feedback from our user community. Some of these tools are very simple but extremely effective in attendance management.
“Partial Attendance” is designed to alert the school if a student has been marked both present for a class and absent for a class in the same day. Some people call this a wagging alert.
“Watch List” has been developed to provide instant email alerts about absent students with a history of truancy. These alerts are sent to nominated email recipients within the school, such as case managers or sub-school leaders, as soon as a student is marked absent.
