Markbook- finishing project
Well since my markbook was actually due yesterday i have completed it. Except in IPT class i made it more appealing and easy for users to read.
I played around with the instructions page and finally finished it. I also made sure the buttons were working fine just in case some error would have occured.
Im very happy i have completed every task except the evaluationg section which was not written to do in the theory tasks but i want to.
My project did meet the requirement reports purpose. Overall this markbook system is very efficient to use because it provides a teacher a much easier access to record her/his class assessment marks on a electronic system rather than noting all on paper. Having an excel markbook enables the data to be saved in a number of places. Another advantage of this markbook is that it would be less costly or sometimes free.
Having completed this project i think that i did manage to solve the problem of creating an efficent markbook system. But one thing that i still havent found the answer to is how to create a code which will let teachers select thier own no. of students because not all teachers will have a class of 20. But then again i didnt have time to actually come up with a button or code during the duration of this project. But seeing as my markbook managed to complete many of the tasks i will rate myself quite high actually 9/10. Hopefully i didnt give myself an easy ranking but i feel i did a pretty good job of this project in the thoery aswell.
I will upload photos for you to see of my instructions, template and homepage soon. The uploading on my PC at home takes a while so i will wait and do it when my internet is faster.
cya :)

Markbook
Today in IPT i have been working on my Markbook and trying to create a formula which enables me/teacher to see the grades of the Individual student tasks and as a whole.
The project was due today but Mr Cavill extended it to this weekend. But also because i have nearly finished my theory except the evaluating section I will edit few more changes and upload the task into Shard documents on the McAuley Website.
The code for putting grades into the markbook is :
=VLOOKUP(E3,$M$23:$N$28,2,TRUE)
This code helped me to create grades for the template. Now im just trying to figure out how to create a button from which teachers can determine their own number of students.

Context Diagram
In todays lesson i went onto creating auto filters into the markbook. I also focused on my context diagram.
One thing also that i have to complete is to make a context diagram. First the share information on what it is.
Context Diagram are used to represent an overview of the entire information systems. The system is shown as a single process along with the inputs and outputs. The external entities are connected to the single process by data flow arrows. Each element represented is labelled. A context diagram does not show data stores and internal processes.
This is what i have done for the teachers markbook. So hopefully it is correct. I asked some of my friends to see if it is good and accurate. They agreed so im am uploading it now in my free period.
Now all the dot points/Theory ha been completed. I am just going to focus on the Markbook now and blog as well.

Project.
Last lesson Mr Cavill helped half the IPT class to teach about Macros and how to create them. Despite the fact that i wasnt feeling well i continued to pay attention and went on to work on my project.
I created Macros to create a new class, look at the instructions and template. While you created a new class! There would be a pop telling you to name your class.
That was the work i did in IPT last lesson.

Requirments Report -
The features of Teacher's Markbook are :
Grade students
Scale scores
Print graphs of student progress
Prepare for your reports
Use it as an electronic gradebook
During the research of this project Mr Cavil came across a disadvantage of using a Teachers Markbook. That all classes have different range of studnets and different range of classes. So therefore there should be an option which will allow them to choose how people in a class and how many classes. i.e. some sort of button.
There is a very detail summary that i found out during IPT of the use of a Teachers Markbook. It includes advantages and disadvantages, also the way it would help other people other than the teachers in understanding the results. Click on this link to see.
The third task that is to be completed is a Requirement Report of this project.
A requirment report is "a document that is produced in the early stages of a project that seeks to clarify the purpose of the system. This purpose is usually detailed in terms of what the users/participants needs are. The data inputs should be clearly identified. The information processes performed on the data need to be documented. Finally, the information outputs from the systems need to be detailed. The requirements report provides documentary evidence of the scope of the project. "
The purpose of a Teachers Markbook is to assist teachers who are the users of this system in assessing students which in turn provides a quality reporting to parents (paritcipants). The markbook asissts teachers needs to easily record results. This wil help teachers be more organised in their tasks.
By producing a efficient information system (Markbook) Teachers will favour it as it will be less time consuming to record results on an electronic based system. But there are disadvantages in a Teacher's Markbook. Since it will not be made as thoughtful in a few days Teachers might have difficulty with the loss of data and the misplacement of the Markbook. Also what if a datd corruption occurs in the Markbook.
This Teachers Markbok that i am creating wont be an actual project as it will only have a small amount of information to be used as a templete for the teacher to see if this possibly could be used as a markbook. It wont be a large assignment.
Information processes (COAST PD) involved in this Markbook system are:
collecting: collecting the assessment marks and the research of what teachers would have wanted in their markbook.
Organising: Organising the students (class) marks in the template sheet to let the teachers see the way it will be presented.
Analysing: I am not sure if anaylsing is a information process which is done. But when the teachers may want to edit the grade key for thier class, this is sort of analysing the class marks for themselves to see.
Storing and Retrieving: The teacher will have to store the assessment marks and later on during the other assessement tasks retrieve this markbook to fill in more marks. Also work out the gardes, averages and more.
Displaying: The markbook will be displayed in a form that looks persentable and easy for the etacher to use.
Well that concludes my requirment report. Hopefully you understand it. I was really confused about what to include.

Gantt Chart - Teacher's Markbook
The second dot point to be completed is :
The task assessment is due on the 3rd of June, 2009.
The task assessment is due on the 3rd of June, 2009.
2. Produce a Gantt Chart of the project containing appropriate stages during the design and production. Include the chart in your blog.
The various tasks i will be performing in the coming days are the Research of various types of Teacher's Markbooks which i have already started, Collection of the data i will use, Planning the Markbook using Excel, Desgining the Markbook using a Tutorial to help me, Implementing the project using Statistical graphs, and overall evaluating my project.
Here is my Gantt Chart which will help me with the project duration (days).
Have a look. From the Gantt Chart it can be seen that i have already started my project.
