Improving Performance By Tracking Results
Based on our well known Print & Scan OMR software, the overall aim of these systems is to track and record the performance
of employees or students over a period of time. This enables teachers or training staff to create and
assess the Performance Improvement Process (PIP) for subjects and courses
both within and outside the company/college/school environment. These
results can be used in selective outputs to show the improvement
in key areas covering knowledge, skills, behaviour
and attitude as well as the value of the teaching or training given. An added advantage is the ability to also track the attendance aspect of students/employees especially in relation to the Education sector.
Both PIP & the Trax Management System for Education allow
continual longitudinal re-assessment over any time period on whether objectives and benefits are still being achieved after a
candidate/student has attended a course or taken a study or other module. It can cover any time
period and the analysis graphically indicates perception of change and improvement or fall-off effect ratio, since the
completion of the test/evaluation questionnaire, by the current attitudinal, knowledge,
behaviourial and skills stance of the employee or student. It also shows whether this can be extended
by offering further training or tutoring as necessary and in the case of the PIP system can include a 360 degree capability for
assessment by Managers, Peers, Subordinates and the Candidate/Student themselves. Options and
benefits include:-
- A multi-tiered question bank option can be incorporated which allows users to create question papers for either tests or assessments. The system can have as many sub
headings to a main subject title as required. A common question pool can be created as well as
password protected subsections for individual administrators or lecturers with speciality options.
Remote access to the Question Bank can also be included whereby administrators/lecturers can select
the basic questions from the bank for say an exam/pre-course questionnaire or add additional questions to an existing original.
- The system administrator is able to
 generate question or answer forms, either by paper based printing or
electronically, in any language with appropriate title headers/gradings for each question if
necessary.
- Ability to send out questionnaires in either a paper based or electronic web format is available using either Optical
Mark Reading/Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) for Paper Based assessments or Web/Email for Electronic systems.
Once completed by the candidate/student the answers are returned for scanning (paper based) or
retrieval (Web/Email) by the system administrator.
- Reports can include course, statistical, analytical and graphical presentations, including course
comparative and longitudinal analysis using criteria based on course type/activity grouping with
the ability to export data to other packages such as Excel or SPSS.
- Individual reporting showing scores and percentages along with the answer given by the
candidate is also available as part of the feedback to participants.
- Continual longitudinal re-assessment,
 covering any time period, on whether the objectives and benefits are still
being achieved after the candidate/student has attended a course or taken a module is at the core of the system. This analysis
graphically indicates perception of change and the improvement or fall-off effect ratio, since the completion of the end of
course/evaluation, by the current attitudinal stance of the employee or student. It
also shows whether this can be extended by offering further training or tuition as required.
- Additionally the PIP system offers 360 degree capability is included for assessment by Managers, Peers, Subordinates and the
Candidate/Student themselves.
- Additionally the Trax Management System for education offers an attendance system, which is capable of tracking pupils patterns of absence, lateness and attendance. It includes full reporting plus the ability to download class and pupil details for populating the attendance sheets.
- Internally the results from both systems can be used to ensure that teaching/training/subject presentation is
monitored/assessed continuously thereby maintaining high standards of both staff and courses.
- Externally, selective results can be used for public relations where needed.
