two.1.4) Short description
Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) is seeking Contractor(s) for the provision of a Student Attendance and Engagement System.
The ability to monitor student attendance and engagement is a key learning analytic and an important component of ensuring student success, in being able to identify and target support to those that have ceased engaging in their classes and also to ensure compliance with external stakeholder requirements, such as statutory bodies and UKVI.
In 2011, GCU invested in a system to monitor student attendance at classes, via the implementation of an IT solution that relies upon student’s swiping into classes using their Student ID card and installed readers.
Given the age of the system and the fact the system is not able to monitor engagement of students attending online classes, it has been recognised that the current system is no longer fit for purpose and therefore a replacement to meet our current and future needs is required.
