genesis Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Hi Our PE staffs are unable to do the registers for the pupils onSIMS when they are offsite. Do you have anything in place for this functionality?We have a enhanced support with Capita. Please suggest. Thanks
Ghostgame Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 SIMS Teacher App? Don't have any experience with it but is what I could find on their website. Might be more expensive than a 3rd party app but might be worth it since you have Capita's enhanced support.
localzuk Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Does the location where the PE teachers wish to do this have internet/network access?
mthomas08 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Teacher App or remote access is pretty much the only way I believe (Or SLG? I can't remember if that has it or not). Teacher App doesn't require connections because it can be used "Offline", we are holding back a little due to the Windows 8+ required so going to go W10.
FragglePete Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 We use Group Emerge - also allows the device to go offline where it then keeps a local database of contacts, registers, etc. Sync's back up when your back online and updates the registers. Used by our PE teachers here also and they love it. Pete 1
genesis Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 If offsite they may use their mobile phone .
Seb1780 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 We use Groupcall Emerge here, the SIMS Teacher App also provides this functionality. Take a look at both because there are other benefits of each and pricing can vary depending on the size of your school. 1
jertsy Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 We use emerge too, its pretty reliable I dont get any issues with it really. 1
bald_pig Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 (Or SLG? I can't remember if that has it or not) Yep, SLG can do it!
stevo1565 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I have two sites one uses Emerge and the other the Teacher App I would go with the Teacher App it has a lot more functions and easily accessible off site if needed, Good Luck
ITGURU Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 What device do you want to access using? We use Reggie - it downloads a copy of your registers and photos. You mark them as present or absent, then when it re-connects to the internet it will update the SIMS DB
Paid_Peanuts Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 What device do you want to access using? We use Reggie - it downloads a copy of your registers and photos. You mark them as present or absent, then when it re-connects to the internet it will update the SIMS DB How do you find it? I am considering this for our PE department. Do you know how it is licensed and the approx. cost?
