Why is WebSAMS not used?

• WebSAMS is not open to students because of
• security concern
• low performance with multiple access
• Different posts needed for different ECA
• We allow students to choose only one ECA from
  each category for balanced participation
• External activities cannot be handled by WebSAMS
• We have ECA chairmen manage membership for their
  own activities
• We need an e-mail contact list for each ECA

5
Our traditions objectives

• Chairmen assigned with responsibilities to manage
  membership themselves
• Students should take initiative to report
  activities inside school and outside school
• Minimum workload for teachers and clerical staff
  for processing the records
• Records could be used for easy browsing and
  producing various forms of product such as ECA
  Reports and Testimonials.

6
Our solutions

• Development of web platform to meet customized
  needs
• Technical specifications
• Microsoft Windows 2003 Server
• Running IIS, ASP pages
• The platform provides various functions not
  provided by WebSAMS, SLP is just one of the module

EMBs SEED project

• Enhance our understanding of the concepts and
  principles of OLE and requirement of SLP in NSS
• Provides opportunities of sharing experience on
  implementing OLE and SLP in other schools
• Participate in testing SLP prototype provided by
  EMB

  components of learning areas and attributes to be
  developed.

  different roles in Sports Day

  indicate they have checked and updated their
  profiles.

  they have participated in (optional).

Some important points

• Students gain ownership of their profile by
  taking initiative to enrich it.
• Students develop reflective culture under
  guidance from Form Teachers.
• Records entered by students need to be rectified
  by staff, clerical support is still necessary.
• Stand firm on deadlines of updating and
  validating.
• Staff should be adapted to working with web
  interface rather than hardcopies.
• Strong support from technical staff for importing
  / exporting data and creating report templates
  for printing various reports.
