Paradigm Education Management System
ParadigmEMS is a software application focused primarily on the collection, management and reporting of student-related data for Australian higher education institutions. Recent developments have included a wide range of additional functionality that assists in the management and administration of private provicers. Its major features of note are:
-
Paradigm is web-based making it accessible via the internet using standard web browser software),
-
Paradigm has a flexible data model; it can support significant variations in the way different educational institutions describe their student data,
-
Paradigm directly supports the generation of DEEWR reporting files for regular submission to the Commonwealth Government.
To the typical administrative staff member, the Paradigm interface may seem somewhat different in design and behaviour to the software applications used previously. This is because Paradigm has been designed as a secure web application, requiring nothing more than a standard web browser to be installed on your computer to be able to access student data and modify it. The advantages of this approach include:
-
You do not need special software installed on a computer to access Paradigm, so you can work from any location permitted by your institution's security policy,
-
All the student and related data is stored and maintained in a central place so that any approved member of academic or administrative staff can access the same data at the same time (within the limits of information visibility permitted by their 'role'.),
-
Security and backup of the institution's student data is maintained at a single central location by technical staff,
-
Additional features and upgrades to the Paradigm software are made at one central location and are deployed to all users of the software wherever they are located.
