Headrush has many reporting options available to serve both your various stakeholder needs as well as the varying needs of purpose (e.g.- Learning, vs Compliance).
How does your mission, model, and learner accomplishment show up in the world?
Typically, reporting falls into one of these broad categories:
Day-to-Day Progress
How is the learner doing right now (daily, weekly, on demand)? | Term / Year-end
What did the learner achieve for the term / year? | Official Transcript
Representing learner achievement to higher ed or transfer schools | Insight Reporting
How are students and the school performing overall? How can we do better? | External Reporting
e.g. District, State or Accreditation Reporting |
Within each of those categories, the following considerations impact the nature of what is presented:
Frequency— Examples: once per term, per year, on graduation
Audience— Examples: Parents, College Admissions, District
Goals & Constraints— Examples: Satisfy state reporting requirements; student progress during term
Key Data / Evidence— Examples: Credits earned, standards covered, projects completed, evidence
Level of Detail— Examples: summary vs detailed content, counts, charts, listing
Source / Method— Examples:, Headrush, SIS, Custom database, Student-led conference
Individual vs. Group— Examples: An Individual, a group of individuals, a group of groups
We've created the following matrix as a tool to help thinking and facilitation around these ideas (click to create a copy of the template for your own use).
As you take these needs and operationalize them in Headrush, a few other questions become important:
Can what you need be a 'view' in the Headrush app itself?
Examples: Learning Target Dashboard, Activity Feed, Evidence ViewWho Generates The Reports?
Examples: Learner, advisor, registrar, module creator, automaticallyWhat configuration decisions impact what report options are available?
Examples: Data collection, Course Grades turned on, Time Logs turned on
Combined, these contemplation will help find an option that's already available in Headrush -or- expedite collaborating with the Headrush team to get it created to serve your needs.
