Added More Videos! -

We've added Home Page videos for Future Ready Skills and Readiness Indicators.

HS&Beyond Videos, Now Transcribed -

Phase 1 (completed) is to add Close Captioning (Closed captioning (CC) and subtitling are both processes of displaying text on a television, video screen, or other visual display to provide additional or interpretive information.)

Phase 2 (also completed) is to transcribe the full audio text of the video, and have a download interface to allow the user to download the full transcribed text.

Updated Student Completion Assessments Page -

OPSI has defined the requirements for a High School & Beyond tool, and in the requirement R01.6.2 it describes a system needing to capture College Placement tests. In order to account for this, we've changed the label of "State assessments" tab on student completion to be "Assessments" (in order to account for some assessments not being state defined.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Added an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) Page -

OPSI has defined the requirements for a High School & Beyond tool, and in the requirement P009/R.0.1.1 it describes a system needing to provide an "identifier for students with individualized education program." In order to account for this, we've added a new tab in student completion. And here, it will indicate whether a student is on, or is not on an IEP. 

For your information, the logic for determining this YES/NO datapoint is the following: In your SIS, you have additional services, one being defined as "Special Education." The system finds the students current status on the special education service/program, and if the student is "Active," the screen displays YES. If the student's status is "Inactive" or "Never Enrolled," the screen displays NO. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Getting to Student Completion is much quicker! -

In order to launch Student Completion, previously, you would have to navigate to "Student Completion" --> "Select a Student", and then you would have to click "Select a Student" again. Now, we've removed the last additional step for you, when you click "Select a Student" a student list is automatically displayed.
