  1. OUTREACH EDUCATION CONFERENCE OSIMS Revealed - Connecting Teachers and Administrators to Student Information Anytime, Anywhere!  Frank Nemeth September 30, 2005

  2. OSIMS REVEALED What is OSIMS? The Outreach Student Information Management System is a comprehensive single-source management and communication tool designed specifically to meet the student data collection needs of Outreach teachers and administrators leading to improved data-driven decision making

  3. OSIMS REVEALED THE TECHNOLOGY  PHP front-end MySQL engine for the back-end  Web server What Does this mean? no additional software is required to run the program, only a web-browser, therefore no extra expense.

  4. OSIMS REVEALED THE FEATURES! • General Information (students name, birthday, Age, HealthCare, Doctor, Clinic and more) • Contact Information (mailing, parent, guardian and others Phone numbers, address and email addresses can be kept) • Social Agency Worker (phone #, contact name, agency)

  5. OSIMS REVEALED THE FEATURES! • Status (is a student currently active in a program or school.  This feature is used for attendance and enrollment numbers). • Case Notes (Anecdotal, Educational Goals, Follow-up, Phone Calls, and more can all be documented in this section). • Assessment (WRAT, Kaufmann, WIAT, and other results can be kept in this section).

  6. OSIMS REVEALED THE FEATURES! • Transcript (in this section we can keep track of courses that a student is enrolled.  School grade, exam grade, final course grade, course completion forms, credit types, number of credits and more.  From this section we can track the number of credits generated in a year and track the number of students in any given course). • TranscriptMark Record Sheets (in this section we can keep track of module grades, exam grades, final course grade, course due date, course completion date, notes and marked by staff member.

  7. OSIMS REVEALED THE FEATURES! • Library (Our entire library system is tied into OSIMS.  All books are bar-coded and checked out to students in this section using a barcode scanner.  Students can be blocked from checking out books, modules.  Books can be checked back in from here or from the admin side of OSIMS). • Fees (student school fees can be tracked in this section.  Invoices can be created on the fly and printed.  A built-in alert system flags those students that have not paid or those that have expired school fees).

  8. OSIMS REVEALED THE FEATURES! In addition to the above features, there is an administrative side that has various reports. For example: Grade Enrollment, Course Enrollment Birthday’s (for any given month) Coded Students Add/Edit/Delete Courses Add/Edit/Delete Library items Loaned Book Summary Daily or Year-to-Date Attendance reports Media Consent Forms School District Forms Course Completion Forms • IPP (this section is used to track coded students)

  9. OSIMS REVEALED THERE’S MORE! Reports are generated on the fly in a PDF format, so the Acrobat Reader plug-in is required for your web browser. This plug-in is also freeware. Access to OSIMS is by a username/password combination that can be easily setup on the admin side of the program. All of the above features are customizable and can be turned on or off. For example, only the High School uses the Fees, Library, and Transcript sections. The other schools/programs do not see these buttons.
