Designed for Teachers on the move for accessing any information, anywhere and at any time

Why Teacher’s WebFolder?
At last there is a cross platform product so staff can utilise Teacher’s WebFolder from any browser. Staff can register and monitor their class grades and behaviour from an intuitive and attractive modern interface. Teachers analyse and evaluate their class or individual pupil performance themselves.

No client installation in the classroom is required as Teacher’s WebFolder integrates in your existing curriculum and/or administration network. It will also operate with two separate networks via a firewall between the two.

A Full Range of Functions available
Teacher’s WebFolder allows the teacher to carry out all the functions necessary using only one web program.

One-stop-entry
Teachers are at last able to input and access essential pupil data such as their attendance, grades and behavioural events directly themselves without having to rely on Administrative staff.

For instance, at Parents Evenings teachers can instantly view and show parents their child’s performance in a graphical format. Teachers can simultaneously access a wide range of data such as the balance between positive and negative pupil events.

Catch up from home
As Teacher’s WebFolder is a browser-based service, it can be accessed from anywhere. As long as you have an internet connection, you can catch up with work from home or anywhere else.

The workstation needs only to be running one of the freely available, mainstream browsers: Internet Explorer (v7+), Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, Opera and others. We recommend that you use the most up-to-date version of your browser of choice.

Teacher’s WebFolder will deliver many benefits to the school, particularly on the 'cost of ownership'.

This is due to the following factors:

• Low cost hardware
• Zero deployment for client PC/laptop

Special SIMS.net Version

Teacher's WebFolder SD is the "SIMS Direct" version which allows teachers to record and access data in SIMS.net. Register pupils via an attractive and friendly web interface. Record behavioural elements into SIMS Lesson Monitor and/or SIMS Attendance. If it is in active use, assessment entries can also be made into SIMS Assessment Manager and SIMS Profile.

Case Study: Teacher's WebFolder at The Thomas Adams School

The Thomas Adams School is a large comprehensive school situated on a 30 acre campus in Wem, Shropshire.

At their most recent Ofsted inspection, the school was graded as 'outstanding'.

The school take punctuality, and attendance in particular, very seriously. This is why they initially purchased the Bromcom system. They have since expanded their use of Bromcom products to include monitoring pupil behaviour and grades. Using the flexibility Bromcom offers schools, they have mixed and matched different Bromcom options.

Since there is a variety of platforms and a mixture of MacBooks and PCs being used at the school, the school wanted to have data input software for teachers that could be used across different platforms.

Staff are currently using Teacher’s WebFolder on MacBooks and PCs with Internet Explorer, Safari and Firefox.

The feedback from staff has been extremely positive. Director of ICT, Bob Griffith was pleased at how smooth the implementation process was and how staff adapted to Teacher’s WebFolder instantly.

Benefits according to Bob:

• The flexibility of having cross-platform software
• The ability for Teacher's WebFolder to work on virtually any web device
• An intuitive and user-friendly interface
• Staff love it and do not need extensive training as it is so easy to use
• Bromcom have hand held them all the way

"We can use WebFolder on anything from a staff laptop to MacBooks and even Linux based Netbooks and mobile phones - in fact anything with a web browser and access to our wireless network. This flexibility has made getting accurate registers much more straightforward, hence our attendance information is always up to date and we can locate pupils and staff quickly and easily."

"We can also quickly log house points and check other details on pupils quickly and simply. As an IT manager I have the reassurance that the system is not storing pupils information locally so there are no security risks to worry about."

"Training on the new Webfolder product was really quick, in fact staff were passing it between them without the IT staff having to show them what to do - a sign of how popular and easy to use the program has been."

Robert Griffith, Director of ICT, The Thomas Adams School Shrewsbury, Shropshire
