Application 1

Student Data Aggregation Calculator – Using SLC technology, the student data aggregation calculator app should create

a flag in the SLC data store and allow for aggregation of student data for that flag, resulting in a display of all the students that meet the conditions of the flag. 

– Student data can include achievement, enrollment, and biographical data associated with students.

– The application should store both the flag and definition of the condition but not the result set within the SLC data store.  The application should allow flags and condition definitions to be added, deleted, and edited. 

– The most compelling application will be easy to use, allow the greatest flexibility to the user, and present the results in a visually appealing manner.     

• For example, a teacher may wish to see all of the students in their class who are eligible for honor role.  The teacher would define the flag as ‘honor role’; define the condition of honor role as any student with a GPA of 3.5 or higher; and the results would be the student name and GPA.

Application 2

Student Groupings Tool– The student groupings tool would allow a teacher to view a list of students and

arrange them into groups.  The teacher could create multiple groups and could name the groups for easy reference. 

– When the teacher creates a group, they could associate a student data element with the group.  The associated data element would then be displayed for the group. 

– If the teacher selects a student within the group they should be able to see all student data the teacher has access to, which could be done via the SLC educator dashboard app. 

– The most compelling application will make it easy to create and edit groups and display the groups in the most visually appealing manner.  

• For example, a teacher selects students A, B, C, and D and places them into a group called cohort-1 and selects student GPA as the associated data element.  The resulting view is a group labeled cohort-1 with student A, B, C, D and their corresponding GPA next to their name.
