Handles multiple subjects and multiple teachers for each subject

• Handles multiple set permutations, i.e. the same pupil can be in many different classes/sets
• Improved project interface – authorise self-assessments for any given project.
• Homework manager – check it off as it arrives on the screen, and receive a reminder about pupils’ work that is overdue
• Marking Manager – receive reminders about work that is handed in and requires marking
• Greatly improved markbook interface – enter all the marks for a class on one screen. Add optional comments and email the marks to a student directly from that screen
• Enhanced comments screen – teacher has the ability to make a comment private (i.e. pupils won’t see it, but other teachers will).
• Facility for group comments – i.e. add the same comment to multiple students at the same time
• Check and edit pupil self-assessments before they are printed onto their report.
• Searchable pupil profile system, which includes neat summary academic report and databank of teacher comments; email pupils directly from this panel
• Improved markbook reporting – download or print a markbook for each of your projects, optionally in Excel format
•  Monitoring of pupils – one-click monitoring of pupils – teachers allocated as Heads of Departments will then receive notifications about new assessments for monitored pupils in their subjects

 Other Features

• Enhanced error checking: cannot set projects due before today, cannot print blank reports etc.
• Easily communicate with database administrator – log any data problems and the next administrator logging in will receive notification.
• Intelligent emailing – the system will warn you if a pupil does not have an email address stored, and stop the mailing.
• Improved security, easy password resetting, and system will not let you delete the last administrator from records – which would previously have locked you out of the database!

 Pupils

• Receive automatic notification on logging in if there are new assessments to view

• Receive reminders about overdue work.

 Administrator Panel

• Full control over members – suspend a pupil’s login rights temporarily
• Full control over staff privileges – make colleagues administrators if you want them to have access to the admin control panel. Make them Heads of Departments if you want them to have pupil-monitoring privileges.

What do I need on my Computer?
You no longer need MS Access, as the latest version of TeachMate comes bundled with all the necessary software. You simply need a Windows-based PC, and - ideally - some kind of intranet or School network if you want pupils to have access to their own assessments.

* If you purchase TeachMate online, the download will be as per the CD EXCEPT that the software allowing you to run TeachMate without MS Access is not available in this way (it would make the download too large). Therefore, please only use this method of purchase if you have MS Access on your computer.
