3. 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.

4. 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.
