PDA
Data can be read or added anywhere with the use of Personal Digital Assistants (PDA). They are wireless extensions of the Facility package that allow updates of information for teaching and non-teaching staff immediately without generating paperwork. Designed to work through Facility ePortal they ensure that everyone has access to up-to-the-minute data.
The small, hand-held units can be carried to any part of the school that is covered by the wireless network so staff do not need access to a PC in order to enter or view information.
Teachers in remote classrooms or out on sports fields all day are no longer isolated from the rest of the school.
The PDA can be used to take registration and enter attendance figures directly into the database so they can be managed from a central point, even on split site schools. Any information such as timetable changes, events and notices can be circulated to everyone without the delay of a paper-based system.
