Tracker for 2022 Tech Awards

The 2022 Tech Awards use a raw mark grid for each internally assessed component.

This tool is useful for organising/storing data related to student assessment.

It will automate the provision of forms ready for submission to your moderator.

It is NOT in any way a guarantee of any grade or outcome. Responsibility for accuracy and validity of the assessment decision that you make lies with you. Safety and security of data related to your students is also your responsibility.

To get the zip file download please complete this short form below.

The tracker requires:

Windows Operation System
MS Excel (Desktop only)
Read/Write priviledge in the folder it will be used
Macros need to be permitted

Please watch the two films below. The first will get you started using the tracker and the second will show you how easily you will be able to migrate to a new version without loss of assessment data.
