- 5. Organisations: School, Home, Environment
- School Registration Systems
- Paper-based
- Not reliant on networks
- Mistakes difficult to erase/untidy/
- AM/PM marks logged on paper by teacher and returned to office
- Keyboard entry
- Produce attendance stats/no need to return to office
- Still need to register each pupil
- Marks typed into the computer marks stored on central server
- Optical Mark Recognition(OMR)
- Multi-purpose- can mark tests- so justifies costs
- Registers are batch processed so they aren't 'live'/'real-time': latecomers not registered
- Teachers log whether pupils are present by shading a box on a sheet of paper; sheets for each form batched and scanned in
- Smart Cards
- Multiple functions, unlike swipe: payment cards in canteens; record library cards
- Reliance on ICT system
- Cards contain chips and can hold more info than magnetic *****s. Placed into card reader on arrival
- Magnetic ***** Cards
- Used to 'swipe' pupils into school
- Cheap to buy and make
- Swipe in others/lose/forget
- Biometric
- Pupils scan their fingerprints or eyes
- Don't have to remember cards/impossible to sign in for someone else
- Expensive/privacy issues
- Paper-based
- Management Information Systems (MIS)
- Provide managers with info needed to make decisions, and ***** away irrelevant info
- E.G Headteacher could hide other marks to show only attendance marks
- E.G Listing free classrooms, free teachers- head can allocate classes
- Teachers can focus on more important things
- Writing timetables and spotting truancy patterns
- Expensive; staff need to be trained, also expensive
- Adequate security and access control because of personal data
- Data Logging in School Activities
- Sensors used for science experiments
- Sensors automatically collect data readings over a set period of time called a logging period. The time between each reading is called the logging interval
- Data sent to computers by wires. Analysis takes place to create charts/calculations
- More accurate: people can't make mistakes like forget to take readings- done automatically
- Expensive/ equipment can go wrong
- Temperature: logging how long it takes to cool a liquid
- Light: measuring how different light levels affect plant growth
- PIR: Passive infra-red to detect movement (also for security)
- Pressure: Something pushing (security)
- Sound: volume
- Weather Forecasting Systems
- Used to tell you the weather by the TV or internet
- Sensors are input devices used to feed info into a computer. The computer then outputs this data as a weather map
- Same pros/cons as data logging
- Sensors
- Temp.:logging outside temp.
- Wind: measuring wind forces
- Pressure: atmospheric conditions
- Humidity:moisture in the atmosphere
- Rain
