Personal Tutor Dashboard Released

A new dashboard will be available for Personal Tutors to use from 16th November. The Personal Tutor Dashboard brings together key student data in one place for a Tutor’s student cohort.  The dashboard contains the students’ marks, attendance rates, library visits and blackboard usage.  Some of the functionality added for the convenience of Personal Tutors includes a link to an individual report for each student, student photographs, icons comparing the current academic year’s data to the previous year and marks availability at assessment, as well as module, level.

Personal Tutors will be able to see students which have been timetabled against them on the University’s timetabling system, CMIS. The quality of this data is essential – if Personal Tutors are not seeing the cohort of year one students they are expecting, the first consideration should be to engage with their School’s administrative staff to ensure students are scheduled to the right Personal Tutor.

Initially the Personal Tutor Dashboard will show year one students in the main, as this is what is currently held in CMIS, however the dashboard does provide a feedback file mechanism to let Planning staff know those students in years two and above that are linked to Personal Tutors – Tutors are encouraged to arrange for these to be sent through in a co-ordinated, singular file, at school level.

Personal Tutors will be able to use their dashboard to keep informed of the progress of their students in a convenient way, which should support both personal tutoring sessions and early intervention with students where tutors deem this is required.

The dashboard is available from the Planning and Business Intelligence Team’s portal pages, accessible from the following link:   https://ps.lincoln.ac.uk/services/Planning/personaltutors/SitePages/Home.aspx?PageView=Shared&InitialTabId=Ribbon.WebPartPage&VisibilityContext=WSSWebPartPage
