SOFTWARE FIRST FOR UK COMPANY

As part of the company's strategy of continual development and improvements to its software, Trax UK Ltd., the Kent based company specialising in high speed Windows based data capture software, is launching Version 6.20 of its well known Print & Scan system on stand SW55 at the BETT2002 exhibition at Olympia.

Offering enhanced reporting and analytical facilities for all types of assessment, surveys, tests and examinations the new version also includes the ability to undertake continual longitudinal performance related monitoring of students, including 360 degree appraisal. The system is able to indicate when tutor or training interventions are needed as well as highlighting areas of weakness to be addressed.

Starting with a baseline, users simply select questions from different areas so as to assess skills, knowledge, behaviour and attitudes as applicable. Forms are then generated and distributed either electronically via Web/Email or on paper or a mixture of both technology types. Responses from students are then captured and the results are then stored and fed back accordingly. Analysis includes numeric and percentile as well as graphical outputs. System procedures include automatic reminders for the generation of follow-on questionnaires at the specific time intervals laid down plus the ability to adjust the form format to include additional questions or wording changes where appropriate.

Other new features include the ability to generate electronic student list forms in the same format as the paper based version which expands the possibilities of using the system for on-line registers, student performance monitoring and any list related option. This continues the theme of an integrated package that allows users to create their own survey, assessment, examination or monitoring forms in five different data capture technology types including paper based (Optical Mark Reading and/or Image) and paperless/electronic technologies (Web, Network and E-Mail versions). The system is still the only one of its type in the world to allow different technologies to utilise a common platform for designing, generating, linking and processing any task regardless of the technology type used.
