CAS coordinator needs have been researched and discussed with coordinators over the last 2 years. The processes they follow and the challenges they have were analysed carefully in developing bacPoint™ CAS functionality.
CAS Coordinators are supported by maximising their effectiveness in managing CAS with:
- an effective CAS planning, execution, reporting and assessment framework that models coordinators, students and supervisors requirements
- online activity catalogues and simple activity catalogue management
- student activity enrolment management and reporting
- online activity planning for coordinators and students
- coordinators can optionally attach documents, forms and web site links to each activity to provide students with the information they need online when choosing activities for their CAS plan.
- calendar support for activity planning and scheduling
- online student journals and activity reporting that is easily viewed by coordinators
- simple activity reporting and progress tracking timetables against student plans providing visibility of any students falling behind
- easy communication with students and supervisors that is captured for student records
- overall centralized and simplified CAS record management and support for reducing the paper war
- easier assessment management and publishing of student records and assessments
Benefits of using bacPoint™ CAS for Coordinators include:
- instead of constantly trying to track down students’ progress with their CAS activities, coordinators have online access to everything they need at their fingertips: all student journals, records and forms making it easy to monitor their progress
- coordinators can easily identify students that need their attention to ensure they complete CAS requirements before it is too late
- streamlined CAS processes compliant with IBO directives that reduce coordinator’s overall administrative workload
- saves time and frustration by substantially eliminating the paper management and filing war for CAS management and reporting
- overall much easier student CAS records management
- easier assessment management and reporting
- it is easy to backup and secure all CAS records so information is not accidentally lost
