[Year 12 IPM] OTT - VELS Reporting Software

[Bill Turner]

Hi Hock

My understanding from Markbook is that exports of student details need to be
done directly from CASES via an XML file, which is then imported into
Markbook. 

This is needed for student enrolment file fields that the old CSV file
transfer method doesn't supply but are required for the new system in
reporting back to the Ministry.

Hi Michael,
The import and export facilty in Markbook is excellent. It imports CSV
files in a very systematic manner. I have used Markbook since 2000 in
conjunction with Maze (similar to Cases21 - supplied by CAZ) which was
used as the timetabler package previously. We have now moved to The
Timetabler which can export the relevant Markbook files in the CSV
format. Is CASES21 used for timetabling? If your timetable package can
export the required fields easily and stored as a CSV file, you can
easily import them into Markbook.
 
I will be happy to give further advice if you wish as I have been a
Markbook Administrator since its inception in our College as well as a
timetabler for three years before handing the job back to a teaching
staff.

Hi Laurie,
 
You might be right about the cost but it took 10 hours of solid work to
create the working model based on our school's needs (including deriving
the algorithm as per department guidelines) - I wanted a challenge!
Funny thing is - our school has yet to decide whether to go FM Pro or
Markbook but I suppose they still need to see a working model anyway.
 
Can I ask - since we do not have Markbook - How well does it integrate
with
Cases21 and other programs - Do you have to export and then import data
via a txt/csv file and vice versa OR can Markbook directly access data
from the data files of other programs?
 
Please provide some info.
 
Michael
