Online Interactive Options
At some stage, most UK secondary schools introduce the opportunity for students to personalise their learning. Often during the Spring term of Year 9, students are led through a series of informative events and guidance sessions designed to help them choose suitable optional courses for Years 10 and 11.
For children and parents, choosing the right course combinations whilst adhering to restrictions laid down by the school can lead to confusion. Indeed, some schools running very complicated options systems are frequently faced with students making choices which are impossible or obviously unsuitable.
Our interactive option sites are designed to present information about option courses in a friendly interface and help students and parents make the right choices within the boundaries set by the school.
Initially, we simply take a copy of the options information as presented to the students and create a site containing this information and an interactive options form which allows students to make their choices within the rules set by the school. Illegal choices can be prevented and inadvisable choices can be highlighted with accompanying explanations. Of course, we work closely with the school to make the functionality of the site match the school's requirements. In its final form, and when the school is ready, we upload the site and make it live.
