New Product
– Automated Online Assessments and SMS notification
Computers 4 Kids announced a new addition to
its C4K Online Management System (COMS) this
week – Automated Online Assessments. This will
allow learners to easily log in online (an off-line
version will also be available) and complete
an assessment covering a specific lesson that
an Educator has chosen to assess. Once completed,
the learner will receive an immediate result
and the Educator will be presented with learner
results in a table format highlighting all the
skills assessed. The data can then be manipulated
to create reports, skills lists and class lists.
This presents a huge time saver for Computers
4 Kids Educators and further demonstrates COMS
ability to provide an effective LMS. The add-on
feature is the SMS result which the parent receives
once the learner has completed the assessment!
The class teacher / ICT Teacher / HOD also receives
an SMS with the class average once all learners
have completed the assessment. Watch this space
for the demo link!
New
Online Planning and School Management Reporting
System Launched
This week saw the release of the Computers 4
Kids Online Management System (COMS). This new
system replaces the current system and allows
the educators to save their planning online,
edit their planning and add their own lessons
to the planning sheet. The new version also
allows School Management or Support Personnel
to view the planning, add comments and view
screenshots of the completed lessons. Well done
Team!
Technology
Top 100
Computers 4 Kids is proud to have achieved recognition
by Technology Top 100, South Africa’s foremost
business excellence awards programme, as a leader
in IT innovation.
TT100 recognises the way in which organisations
use technology to achieve, more effectively,
their own objectives, be they maximising profits,
gaining market share, creating niche markets
or adding value for their investors, shareholders
and/ or trustees.
TT100 is therefore less about technology itself,
than fundamentally about the way technology
is used innovatively.
Computers 4 Kids is now on the WCED
database as an official supplier (A List). Allocated
budget funds may now be used to pay for our
integrated curriculum.
