Upgrading to eTAP |
|
| Essentially, eTAP is a website for the school. All of the
school's student information and the eTAP software is accessed from the
website. Schools need only a computer running a web-browser (supported current version), a connection to
the internet and a password to access the site. Schools also need a printer to print webpages and reports. |
| eTAP is an incredibly easy program to use, however, some set-up is needed
when upgrading to eTAP. For example, many schools use different terminology
to describe assessment. eTAP has been designed so that any term of choice
can be used. However, terminology does need to be 'across the school'. |
eTAP Annual Subscription |
|
| eTAP is offered as a service, rather than as a software product. Schools are
not charged for the use of eTAP. Instead, there is an annual
support/hosting fee based on the number of teachers on staff in the school. |
| The only additional charge is a required purchase of 10 hours of training
when upgrading to eTAP. The programme runs slightly differently to other
software and websites familiar to most people, and the training ensures
educators are fully aware of eTAP's capabilities and functions. |
Included in the Ongoing Subscription Charges for eTAP |
|
| School set-up including Ministry OA's and standardised testing. |
| Customer support |
| The eTAP support team enjoy answering queries and generally helping schools sort out
their student data requirements. The eTAP support team are available during normal working
hours (i.e. 8.30am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday) and in emergencies, they are
also available by cell phone. |
| Software availability |
| eTAP is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Every effort is made to
ensure that the software is always available online |
| Adding new assessment areas/new tests |
| The eTAP support team updates the software to include any additional tests/assessments a
school may desire to add. |
