Another "Is anyone else experiencing poor performance with this online resource?" query.

 

I don't think it's our end as most other online stuff is fine.

Sorry, this isn't useful to you, but you're the only person on here mentioning the service and I've been tasked with due diligence.

 

How are your lot finding Boxall Profile and (from a technical / data protection standpoint) does it do anything daft?

It's one teacher at one site; I'll ask her next time I see her (later in the week).

Have spoken to the lone user, who thinks it's great (and she's not hugely IT literate). AFAICT it should be brilliant for data protection as no student name goes into the system, just a number. Obviously this necessitates a "decoder sheet" at school level.

 

The only problem I have been alerted to is the one in my original query, which may be their end, or might be ours.

The only issue I've had with this is printing - it won't print at all from internet explorer, but in chrome the print icon doesn't appear (I have found that if you click the blank space where the print icon *should* be that it works anyway!).

Cheers guys.

 

I had a quick play with a test account (you get to do one assessment).

 

I'm not sold on the "it's anonymous" argument, because there's enough info on a profile (school, class, gender, dob, language, medical/behavioural) to make an educated guess.

A data harvester. Did anyone ask the parents?
