Electronic Room Seating Plans

[FN-GM]

Hi,

When using IT Rooms staff fill in a seating plan of where the students sit and any damage to comuters. This is all done on paper, an example is attached.

Does anyone know anything that will allow us to do this Electronicly please?

Thanks

You could make a simple webpage to do it?

To make it simpler make a static HTML page for each room, the webpage has the seating layout as an image background and in each "seat" is a text input box, the teacher types in the kid's name, clicks submit then PHP saves it all to a database such as:

StudentName SeatNumber RoomNumber IssuesReported Date

Then to display it out you can either simply list it or get into the PHPGD library and whack it out as an image.

Or just give them a word document which is setup as a form and have them save a copy... Although that's not a searchable database.

If you implement @webmans login tracker you should be able to then easily pull the information using PHP. You can then have an option at the top to select the time period (give say a 5/10 min window for login) and then the room and it will auto-populate - you then don't need to worry about them not filling it in.

We already have tools to track logins, but we want the teacher to input the names in the event a student uses someone elses account.

This is true hadn't thought of that point but IMHO it should be pushing people to use there own accounts etc

We do, the school takes it seriously. But if a student has a ulterior motive....
