NIPPERA student management system designed for the smaller New Zealand tertiary educatorNipper has been designed from the outset to be as simple and straightforward to install and use as possible, and uses standard Microsoft Office ™ products to ensure it will work on the maximum number of PCs with the minimum of fuss.Meta Office has been producing student management systems since 1998 and during this time we noticed the creep of governmental compliance requirements meant that smaller educational organisations were increasingly required to report electronically and were forced into purchasing expensive student management systems that were more complex than necessary. In response to this need, we created the Nipper Student Management System.From the outset we wanted to create a system that would allow training providers to meet the new requirements with the minimum of fuss and expense, and we think we succeeded! | Key Features Compatability - Nipper will run on a wide variety of PCs.

Internet links to NZQA and forms for TEC are also available.Helpdesk Support - Meta Office can provide various support options.

MERCURYMercury, a generic interface between student management systemsMercury will attach to your student management system and act as an agent, picking up data from your database, validating it, and bundling it up in the correct format for onwards delivery to the agencies.This is a new piece of software that we are developing which will provide a generic interface between student management systems (including Take2, of course!) and agencies such as TEC, the Ministry of Education and NZQA. Mercury will also supply you with up-to-date reference data from the various agencies; things like your Unit Standard accreditations, country codes, secondary schools, etc. Potentially, and with NZQA's co-operation, Mercury could import student records of learning.More detail will be made available later this year with interim updates published in the news letter. |
