Secure A Level Results On College Website
Posted on Monday 8th January 2007
“Guildford College and Contensis are pleased to announce a significant development in the way the College delivers examination results to its students. The recent A-Level results were provided online, using a highly secure log-in feature for each student. The special purpose web page is part of the main college website, and provides them with their individual results. Guildford College students are seasoned users of on-line learning. Not surprisingly they were enthusiastic participants, with many gaining access the moment the information was available - well ahead of the date set for paper results to be distributed in the traditional manner.
Guildford College Vice Principal for Information and Planning, Mark Brickley, said “The success of the A-Level results initiative is a vindication of the college’s emphasis on new media methods of helping our students. We see this type of approach as a priority in an increasingly knowledge-driven economy”.
The exam results system was created as part of a wider project to redevelop the college website, underpinned by a strong content management capability. The secure channel was built using the DataView module which enables easy integration with the student records system. Further database interrogation features were put in place using a Web Control. This was created entirely by the College’s Web Services team and slotted into the Contensis .NET framework.
