Students record progress and capability by telling the story of their learning in an online journal.
They can create text, upload digital photographs, capture audio and video or upload computer files (e.g. Word, Excel) created on any digital device - a desk or laptop PC, a mobile phone, etc. They can then map this evidence to assessment activities that have been assigned to them.
MAPS 3 makes monitoring the progress of students easy.
Class summary screens provide an instant overview of progress. Comments and suggestions can be quickly added to a student's journal entries. Students can self-assess against assessment criteria. Completed student work can be locked and referenced to more than one assessment scheme including APP and examination coursework schemes.
At the end of an assessment activity all of the evidence can be formally assessed against internal or external assessment criteria using the revolutionary Red Pen Tool.
APP criteria can also be tagged against the digital evidence, and centrally tracked to show pupil progression through the AFs and Levels. For qualification related coursework, the evidence and assessment can then be directly submitted to examination boards where this facility has been made available.
