Your School's Accelerus Setup |
|
Accelerus may be run in different ways at different schools; each school needs to be aware of what their options are and how they want to set up and run Accelerus.
The most common methods of deployment are set out below but, in all cases, designated Accelerus administrators have access to and work directly in the Accelerus database.
1. | Teachers predominantly work on offline files stored on their laptops, the network or memory sticks. |
All or some teachers may be working directly in the Accelerus database. This might be subject and cohort coordinators accessing their own subject, cohort and class data in the database and/or teachers working on their own class results.
2. | All teachers, whatever their role, work directly in the database using the Accelerus program. |
3. | Class teachers work directly in the database using a web browser. |
Other users, eg Subject or Year Level Coordinators may also be working directly in the database using Accelerus Web or the Accelerus program.
A school may use a combination of the above, eg some teachers work via a web browser and others collect and work on offline files, etc. Choose the method/s you intend to use and refer to the appropriate column in the table below. |
