This course explores how the Course Manager functionality of SIMS links areas such as Nova-T6, Academic Management and Examinations Organiser, including procedures for supporting the maintenance of Post-16 Learning Aims.

This course will look at:

The collection of Post-16 Learning Aims, directly from the school’s MIS, has led to the need for an additional structure beyond those used for timetabling, examinations and academic management; the need to be able to manage courses. Consequently, Course Manager exists in SIMS for schools to be able to maintain this data. Nova-T6, Examinations Organiser, Course Manager and Academic Management support the collection, maintenance and reporting of this data. You may not have detailed knowledge of all these areas, but you need to ensure that colleagues who do, know that they have a significant part to play in a process that has a direct bearing on the school’s funding.
