Finding the right assessment system that enables you to easily manage assessment in your establishment, quickly analyse performance, and share the data is critical to providing the right support to students and improving teaching and learning. While there are plenty of third-party assessment systems on the market, a built-in system, like Bromcom’s Assessment module which comes as standard with our MIS, offers users a range of benefits over third-party apps, enabling users to get better insight into their students, as well as save time and money.
In this blog, we’ll compare built-in assessment systems with bolt-ons (third-party apps) and explore the benefits of having an assessment system fully integrated within your MIS.
A built-in system will give you a holistic view of students and their performance.
Assessment doesn’t exist in isolation. To get the full picture of a pupil and how they’re performing at school, you need to also consider things like their attendance, behaviour, and safeguarding data, and if applicable, whether they’re a SEND student, all of which can have a significant impact on learning. Has their attendance dropped? Has a safeguarding concern been flagged? Joined-up insight can quickly give you the full picture of a student, and is only possible with an assessment system that lives inside your MIS.
Bolt-on assessment systems, like all third-party apps, drive up your costs.
Even small primary schools are spending more than £1500 per year on assessment platforms. With Bromcom MIS, our customisable Assessment module comes integrated as standard and gives you all the functionality you need so you don’t have to pay for any add-ons. Beyond assessment, Bromcom MIS is the most fully featured MIS on the market, allowing you to finally get rid of all your expensive third-party apps.
Streamline your processes and boost efficiency with an integrated assessment module.
When you have third-party systems bolted onto your MIS, your staff have to waste time logging into different systems to complete their everyday tasks and move data between them. Not only is this a drain on efficiency, manual data entry and a fragmented view of student data can result in an inaccurate view of their performance and learning. In Bromcom MIS, users only need one login to access all of the modules they need and any data inputted in one module is updated across the system automatically.
