Your school's management data in the palm of your hand! Groupcall Emerge enables schools to have an up-to-the-minute copy of their pupil and staff information instantly and securely accessible on all Android devices (running Android 2.1+). Registration can be taken, behaviour and achievement can be evidenced* and student information (timetables, medical details, attendance etc.) can be accessed wherever staff require it, without relying on a desktop or laptop PC. On Android devices below 5", used more frequently in locations such as the sports field or on school trips, the screen will display in classic single pane view; whilst devices larger than 5" are automatically detected allowing Emerge to take full advantage of the larger screen, allowing users to see more information on one screen in a double pane view.Groupcall Emerge is the perfect solution to access information when and wherever it is needed i.e. in an emergency situation when access to the school is restricted or when the computer systems may be down; Emerge can help ensure student and staff safety. Integration with Groupcall Messenger, or Schoolcomms, provides instant SMS messaging to student contacts, parents and staff at the click of a button where a suitable messaging subscription is configured. With Emerge you can: -Access data even when a school's SIS/MIS system is unavailable or restricted. -Data is available online or offline. -No need to rely on paper-based registers or records: The full school register is available, no matter where you are; in the playing fields, in the gym or even on a school trip. -The school management system is automatically updated when the device is back within wireless range. Security is paramount with all data encrypted using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). -The device locks automatically when inactive and using two-factor authentication, can only be accessed again using a PIN code. -In the event of an emergency situation i.e. fire, an instant communication route is available to contact school security personnel, medical staff, parents, Head teacher etc. -Other features include instant access to all students' timetables, medical and behavioural details as well as the ability to record Behaviour and Achievement*. -If a device is lost or stolen, Emerge can be remotely deactivated and all data wiped by an administrator. If the device has not been synchronised for a number of days all Emerge data will automatically be deleted on the device, even in offline mode (default is 5 days, but is configurable). -Data can be restricted according to staff status, e.g. Administrators, Staff, SLT etc. Please note that Groupcall Emerge is a subscription-based service. Software must be installed at your school before the application is available for use with real data. The application can used in 'demo' mode by following on screen instructions after install. * Some features require a script update to be applied on the Emerge server in school, if you do not have access to a feature listed here, please speak with the Emerge Administrator in your school. The latest scripts will be automatically updated in accordance with Groupcall's upgrade policy in due course.
