    School management systems are used to manage student data and facilitate computer aided learning (CAL). They allow schools to register students, track attendance and grades, and analyze student performance. CAL integrates computers into the learning process by providing online learning resources, tutorials, and exams that students can complete at their own pace. Successful school management systems automate tasks like timetable creation and exam scheduling to help schools and teachers focus on student learning.

    6.4 School Management Systems

    Objective: To be able to explain the purpose of different types of


    school management systems.
    Topic Success Criteria/PLC
    Skill R/A/G
    ❏ I can discuss management systems for school management and
    computer aided learning.
    School Management Systems
    ● A school management system is an information management system for educational
    institutions to manage all student data.
    ● It provides facilities such as registration of students in classes, documenting of grades and
    evaluation of progress.
    ● We will look at:
    ○ Learner registration and attendance
    ○ Computer aided learning (CAL)
    School Management Systems
    Learner Registration and Attendance:

    ● Some school registration systems are


    based on OMR system technologies. Like
    the image →
    ● Laptops, tablets and smartphones can
    also be used for real time registration
    over a network if the school
    management system provides this
    facility.
    ● It saves time as marked sheets do not
    have to be read by an optical mark
    reader,
    School Management Systems
    Computer Aided Learning (CAL):

    ● Computer aided learning (CAL) is an integrated environment where computers are used
    to assist the learning of students.
    ● The computers can be used for many things such as the development of online learning
    which includes:
    ○ The separation of teachers and learners which distinguishes it from face-to-face
    education
    ○ The use of a computer network to present or distribute educational content
    ○ The provision of two-way communication via a computer network so that students
    benefit from communication with each other, teachers and staff.
    ○ Online learning can be delivered using a website and communications using emails
    but greater benefits have been provided by the use of VLEs.
    School Management Systems
    Computer Aided Learning (CAL):

    ● CAL also includes presentations and interactive tutorials which gives students the
    opportunity to manage their own learning by allowing them to:
    ○ Learn at their own pace
    ○ Repeat sections that were difficult
    ○ Omit sections that they already know and understand
    ○ They can also provide customised materials for each individual student so that they
    are not all expected to learn at the same rate and along the same route.
    ● Most school management systems typically allow staff to record student grades and
    then automatically calculate the final grades to appear in the reports that go home to
    parents.
    ● The built in functions enable teachers to filter student data in order to track student
    performance.
    ● Some more sophisticated systems will automatically alert staff to potential
    underperformers so that no underperforming students go undetected and all students
    can receive the assistance they may require when they need it the most.
    School Management Systems
    Computer Aided Learning (CAL):

    ● The analysis of the data is called “learning analytics” and is intended to improve student
    learning.
    ● Computer based exams (CBEs) are organised by some examination boards and the
    school or college can enter students when they are ready and not at certain, fixed
    points throughout the year.
    ● The school management system should be capable of carrying out all the tasks
    associated with this based on the data input into the system.
    ● Automated emails are sent to examination boards, staff, students and parents to remind
    everyone of an impending exam.
    ● Students only have to log in to a computer with the secure login details to take them to
    the exam and in some cases they are informed of the results as soon as they are
    completed. However, not all examination are conducted online and on demand yet.
    School Management Systems
    Computer Aided Learning (CAL):

    ● Creating timetables and organising teaching cover or substitution timetables is also


    handled by the school management system simply by inputting some important
    information into the system. The formulae and functions built into the system produce
    error free timetables.
    ● When staff had to create similar timetables themselves, it often took several revisions
    before they managed to create a perfect version.
    ● Changes to the timetable are also made much more efficiently and the system can
    inform all those concerned instantly using electronic communications such as email and
    mobile phone alerts.
