Sixth Form Electronic Register for Independent Study

[geohanson]

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to have an electronic sign-in system, which will write back to SIMS with the lesson marks (individual periods rather than AM/PM marks).

We want to use it for our Sixth Form independent study room, to save a teacher from having to go in there and manually take a register for every session.

 

We use Sign-In App for Sixth Formers who leave early or start late, which is written back to SIMS.

We also have Paxton door controllers for a few doors and external gates, and all the Sixth Form students have Mifare cards.

 

As far as I know, Paxton can do clock in and clock out, but there's no way to get that information written back into SIMS, and Sign-In App can't be used for individual lessons (AM/PM only)

 

Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

 

Thanks!

InVentry is the sign in/out system we use. It has options for both sixth formers with a sixth form mode and normal pupils. Any pupil that is late has to sign into the system in reception and SIMS automatically marks them as L. It is a very great as you can also run reports on a specific person to see all days they were in and late. We have all staff sign in on it too. You can also set it up with Paxton doors and you can set badges up on it so they can scan in. I would look more into it and do your own research on it as I am only an apprentice new into the IT field but so far it has been nothing but golden for us.
