| What is Liwius? |
|
Liwius is an Internet based system for communications between the home and the school. The system is intended especially for teachers in managing student information and for communicating with text messages, email, or paper print-outs. The Liwius system is intended for managing absences of students, exams, and schedules. In addition, it helps in communications within the school and between the school and the home. In general, Liwius goes beyond the capabilities of traditional student management systems offering more versatile services. Liwius provides for all parties – teachers, students, and parents – individual user accounts that are used for managing information concerning the user. In addition to the basic features, there is a possibility to attach optional features to the system. For further information about Liwius’s features, see section ‘Features’. The system is Internet based from ground up, which enables utilization of the system anywhere, anytime. No extra installations are needed, as the system can be taken into use in a Nextime’s server. For this reason taking the system into use is easy and easy to learn. Liwius is delivered also as Swedish or English installations. Classrooms can be equipped with computers for teachers, which makes writing down absences quick and easy at the beginning of every class. However, computers are not necessarily needed in classrooms as the teacher can also mark absences during breaks at a computer in the teachers’ room. Students can check status of their absences and exam results for example at computers residing in hallways. Parents can view information at home, at work, or at a kiosk e.g. in a library. |
