Today in the lesson we were infromed of a new assessment. An individual project. We are going to create our own information system.

So to start off with researching i searched about markbooks.

This is the info I found from the board of studies website about the motorised markbook that is mainly used by school teachers abd schools.

These are the feuatures of a motorised markbook:

-easy calculation of complex student assessment tasks through simple selection of all common statistical functions. No complicated formulae to enter, you just enter the names and marks and let Motorised Markbook do the rest

-statistically accurate ways of combining, weighting and transforming student test and assignment marks quickly and easily for HSC and SC grading

-scaling options such as respecifying the mean and standard deviation of a test, scaling to a new maximum mark, moderating a set of tests based on a common test, multilinear mapping and assigning of Alphabetical Grades (based on user defined cutoffs)

-a wide range of printing options which can be applied to individual classes or linked groups of classes. These include alphabetical class lists, traditional markbook pages of selected tests, student rankings, individual Student Profiles ideal for parent interviews, frequency distribution tables and scatter graphs for detailed test analysis, attendance sheets to match school term dates and more

-routines for calculating student estimates

-a class rollover feature for moving classes from one year to the next, and importing and exporting class names and tests

-online help and a detailed manual with tutorials

-free school-wide network/multi-user licence on registration of purchase.
