Just 2 of many features
Resource management - Optimise the use of
materials, facilities and instructors. TEDS
users who are responsible for scheduling can
easily view and reserve those necessary resources
Delivery management - TEDS contains catalogs and
directories to manage courses, sessions,
curriculums, roles, tasks, knowledge and skills,
spot training, and procedures. Smart
notifications, automatic wait listing,
computer-based delivery, online assessments for
any delivery method, and session requests
take the guesswork out of delivery management

- Management for the institution
- Student registration/payment
- Module selection
- Marks and decisions
- Standard form letters
9An example

10 Local management
- The individual chalk-face person
- Student data
- Marking, schemes and summaries
- Marking analysis
- Course analysis
11Links to computers in the classroom
- The more computer-based stuff you use,
- the more it can integrate with the overall system
- Not just maintain student marks but
- deliver the assessment, mark it and provide
feedback - Not just note which modules students are on but
- Provide them with learning experiences
- remember who did what
- Analyse how well it went
12Fantasy island
- Integrate all these functions with all the
teaching stuff we have talked about
13Mixed mode systems
- Reality means that you could merge some computer
and non computer functions - Use humans to implement the bits of the system
that are too hard for the machine
