Abstract:

The various implementations of the present invention are provided as a network computer system configured to allow for the tracking and reporting of user-specified events, including but not limited to, performance metrics and attendance data. This network computer system provides a user interface that allows a user to create metrics to be monitored, view and update event-related information, and to configure and review various pre-programmed and ad hoc reports so the users can monitor and evaluate performance metrics over time. Further, a wide variety of user and system generated alerts and messages or message events can be configured, allowing for automated and manual messaging related to the attendance or performance metrics that are being monitored. Alerts can be provided via email, non-electronic mail, telephone, SMS, facsimile, social networking sites and services (such as “tweets”), etc. In at least one implementation of the present invention, a computer-implemented method of tracking and reporting student performance and attendance-related events for an educational environment is provided.
