registration
systems
- paper-based
- AM/PM marks are logged on a
piece of paper by the form tutor
- Advantages
- Paper-based methods are not reliant on
computer networks if the computer networks
are unavaliable.
- Disadvantages
- If left unattended, students can change
their marks. Their mistakes are often
difficult or untidy to change.
- keyboard entry
- marks are typed into the computer by the form
tutor. marks are stored on a central server.
- Advantages
- it is much easier to produce attendance statistics. There is
no need to return paper registsers to an attendance office
- Disadvantages
- Teachers are still required to
register each pupil rather than the
pupils registering themselves
- optical mark recognition
- Form teachers log whether pupils are present
by shading a box...
- Advantages
- A lot of multiple-choice tests are marked using
OMR, so the initial cost of purchasing an OMR
reader may provide more value for money.
- Disadvantages
- Registers are batch-processed so they are not
"live" or "real-time": some latecomers would not
be registered if they arrived late.
- Smart cards
- Advantages
- Smarts cards hold more data than swipe cards so they can
provide multiple functions: they can act as payment cards
in canteens or record library loans.
- Disadvantages
- There cards contain computer chips and can hold
more information than magnetic strips. They are
placed into card readers as pupils arrive.
