Statement of the Business Problem (System Request Form)
Introduction
Keller College is one of the outstandingcollegein New York City that was started almost a century ago. The college offers outstanding learning, teaching and research on anadequate environment. The campus has all resources, and the classrooms are equipped with today’s technology to place the students in an interactive learning environment.
Moreover, the college has outstanding programs in engineering, education, social sciences, architecture and liberal arts that prepare students for future and produce outstanding leaders in almost all fields. Keller is among the colleges in New York where undergraduates get opportunities to conduct research with qualified professors, publish, and present their research findings.
Moreover, the college offers students with serene environment for learning. The school has plenty of lecturers who teach the students either through online or onsite classrooms. The students are given the possibility of choosing which model works the best for them, and they can also learn through both models.
Additionally, the school has spacious spaces for students to participate in co-curriculum so that they utilize their talents. The students get the opportunity of socialization through clubs. The college enrolls a larger number of students every year, to join the institution purposely to undertake several courses offered by the institution, especially through online platform.
Unfortunately, despite the institution been able to handle all matters through online platforms, the students’ enrollment process seems to be a little long. The prospect students may have to undergo a long process before being admitted to the school.
Business Problem Statement:
The Keller College enrolls the students through a computerized system, where students will either have to go to the campus or be in touch with some school representatives, in order to follow their admission process. Through this computerized method, the students are admitted when they provide all the information needed. The staff entitled for first-year admission record the details of the students.
The present state of the existing student information system as perceived through our research was found to have met the five requirements of quality software, namely: Data Reusability, Data Maintainability, security, usefulness and functionality, and evaluation on the system.
Data Reusability of the existing system seems to be performable, since as a prospective student, who did submitted all required documents in 2013, I was asked again to resubmit documents for my enrollment 2017.

Taking Human Error out of K12 Attendance Equation Could Mean Millions in State Funding for Education. Many school districts across America are discovering that by removing human error from taking attendance and automating the process, they can simply and easily increase their Average Daily Attendance (ADA). Even incremental improvements can create a nancial windfall for any district, in some cases a million dollars a year, depending on the state and the school.
Behavior Management & Intervention refers to software that empowers teachers to work through student performance patterns. Educators have at their fingertips, one of the most comprehensive methods to combat class disruptions. It starts with a reported misbehavior by a student; next, a corrective course of action is determined for the teacher to take; and finally, the student is positively reinforced through interactive software to deter repeat offenses. The process supports teachers in achieving milestones with individual students to ultimately improve lesson time. Part of ScholarChip’s School Safety & Operation System,

Visitor Management is feature-rich, fast and easy to use. The system handles new visitors, frequently returning visitors, temporary staff and contractors with automated ease and intelligence. Every visitor has a permanently assigned ID for ongoing tracking. Visitors can be issued a one-time or permanent badge or ID card on the spot. Schools can utilize the optional sex offender status search, as well as any user-supplied database to allow or prevent entry. Administrators are quickly informed of an offender match via e-mail, text message or telephone call. This Visitor Management is unique in that it shares data with all other ScholarChip applications.
Card issuance is a unique combination of in-school hardware and cloud computing. In the schools, our high volume card issuance stations take photos, issue smart IDs, search card holder records and manage batch printing. This is complemented from the cloud, with anywhere - anytime web-based photography and print capability. Hands down, we provide the easiest, fastest and most secure way to issue smart IDs, not only to a single
school, but district-wide.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Case Study ScholarChip
1. The One Card: A Contactless Smart ID Card
Attendance Equals Success
at Westbury Public Schools
It has been shown that there is a correlation
between improved school attendance and higher
student success rates. This issue is extremely
important in high needs/high risk school districts
where a good education is often the gateway to a
better life.
Westbury Public Schools is a suburban school
district outside of New York City with a growing
enrollment of approximately 5,000 students and
800 staff members. It is a 98% minority district with
over a 90% free and reduced lunch population and
48% ELL (English Language Learners) population.
A major challenge facing the district is a high
mobility rate – approximately 20-25% annually.
Students leave the district for weeks or months at a
time, presenting a tough reality for administrators,
who must encourage students to attend school as
much as possible during the school year.
One of the ways that Westbury decided to embrace
this issue was by using technology to support the
process. ScholarChip, a pioneer of centralized and
integrated School Safety and Operations Systems,
began working with Westbury Schools to imple-
ment a system that uses Passive MIFARE
(contactless) Smart ID Cards.
These cards were issued to all students and staff
to help improve attendance in Westbury’s high
school and increase student success rates across
the entire district. Students and staff are now
required to use these cards for a variety of services.
As a result of this ID Card Program, Westbury
discovered student attendance improved dramati-
cally, administrative processes became more
streamlined, security increased and teachers had
more time for instruction in their classrooms.
Westbury’s adoption of ScholarChip’s technology is
a resounding success.
Overview:
Attendance Kiosks
ScholarChip worked with Westbury Schools to create
standalone kiosks. These portable dual screen, dual
sensor units are placed at the entrances to both the
High School and the Middle School every morning.
Students tap their cards or input their ID numbers
upon entering the building.
This automated process generates a list of
late/absent students. The parents are then called by
an automated system reporting them as absent;
streamlining the process and allowing office staff to
focus on other tasks.
The High School kiosk units are then moved to the
cafeteria entrance where students again tap their ID
cards in order to enter the cafeteria for lunch. If they
are not scheduled for lunch that period, their picture
will display on the kiosk with an error message
indicating that they belong elsewhere.
Building Attendance Kiosk
2. Both the Middle and High Schools use their Kiosks
for events that take place in the buildings after
school and/or at night. Students tap in to attend a
sporting event, dance, concert or any other school-
sponsored program. This adds accountability and
control to event-administrators and lets them know
who is in the venue for that event.
High School Classroom Readers
In New York – as in many states and districts that
received Race To The Top Federal Funds – a portion
of a Teacher’s Evaluation is based on a student’s
performance on state tests. As a part of this evalua-
tion, these teachers receive that percentage of the
student’s achievement on the appropriate state
exam (ELA, Math, Science, History and Regents).
Another requirement of APPR (Annual Professional
Performance Review) is to track seat time for all
students in order to calculate the percentage of
responsibility for each teacher.
Westbury installed card readers in every class-
room, office, gym, and auditorium to keep more
accurate statistics on seat time. Students now tap
their cards upon entering the classroom. The
teacher’s computer screen displays pictures of all
the students in that class, and indicates their
presence by turning their framed picture from red
to green. Students tap out if they leave the class
early and tap into the main office/ nurse/guidance
office, etc.
By incorporating attendance automation using
Smart ID cards, Westbury Schools:
• Transferred the responsibility for student
• attendance to the students, making them
• more accountable.
• Discovered that the system returned up to four
• minutes of instruction time per period.
• Increased security by accurately tracking
• student locations.
• Monitored and reviewed accumulated seat time
• by teacher for easier reporting.
Library, Cafeteria, Hall Monitors
The student ID cards also carry personal schedule
information and, at the High School, are checked by
hall monitors using mobile devices, which verify that
the students are going to the correct class for the
correct period.
Door and Elevator Access - Time Clock Station
Staff members use their ID cards to open locked
doors to enter school buildings or portable class-
rooms located on the school grounds. Students with
disabilities or injuries use their cards to access
building elevators. Facilities staff members use Time
Clock Kiosks set up at each building to sign in and
out of work, which keep track of their time spent,
their current location and also any overtime hours
they work.
Results
Scholastic Improvement
Prior to instituting ID Cards, Westbury had a high
absence rate in the High School as well as a high
daily cut rate. Also, students were not succeeding in
meeting the requirements for promotion/graduation.
After implementation, the cut rate in the High
School dropped by approximately 80% in the first
year. The district has also seen a decline in the
retention rate for High School students based, in
part, on improved class attendance.

3. Accountability and Assessment
With seat time accurately tracked, teachers are held
responsible only for the amount of time a student
spends in class. With such a high mobility rate in
the district, this system ensures that each teacher
gets his or her fair portion of the assessment value.
As a result, Westbury has seen a steady increase in
both achievement levels and graduation rates in
the district.
Safety and Security
With school intrusions, abductions and shootings
on the rise, Westbury discovered that ScholarChip’s
system could be a very cost effective way to lock
down its buildings.
After the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012, the district
instructed that all outside doors in all the schools
were to be locked. Door sensors were placed on the
front doors and parking lot entrance doors
throughout the district.
While front doors of each building are open for
arrival and dismissal of students, they are locked for
the rest of the day and can be opened only by a
person with a valid ID Card. This process lets admin-
istrators know exactly who is entering the building
at any given time, which increases overall security.
In the case of an emergency:
• All doors in a building or across the district can be
• locked down with a single command. The
• command can be issued from any wireless device
• or any computer. This immediacy improves time
• to action.
• An accurate location report is available on a tablet
• or computer showing what staff members and
• students are in the building or buildings, which
• can help first responders react fast.
Visitor Management
Due to rising concern over visitors gaining access to
buildings and schools, Westbury elected to set up
seven visitor management stations throughout the
district using ScholarChip’s technology. These
stations were put in place with a minimum addition
of equipment, and are located at every district
building. They are positioned in either the“guard
shack”located outside of the building or in the front
lobby of each building.
Now, it’s easy to keep track of all visitors that come
into school buildings. All incoming visitors have
their driver’s license or state ID card scanned before
entry. The system database maintains a list of previ-
ous district-wide visitors with his or her time, date,
location, and the reason for the last visit.
If a visitor has been in the district previously, the
system will present a screen to the operator which
can be updated.
If a visitor is not in the database, the system checks
to see if there are any district-defined exclusionary
alerts regarding the person, while simultaneously
checking for a match against the sexual offender
database. If it finds a possible match for either
situation, the operator receives an immediate notice
and can request additional support if needed, right
from the console.
If everything comes back clear, the operator can then
print out a visitor’s pass right from that station.
In the case of an emergency, lockdown or otherwise,
the district can send an alert from any computer to
one or all visitor management stations simultane-
ously throughout the district, which improves
security and response time.

4. School Data
Affordability
• ID cards with passive RFID fits with both students
• and parents – administrators know where students
• last tapped in; the district is not tracking their
• movement through out the building, so privacy
• is maintained.
• The affordability of contactless cards – the ID Cards
• are fairly inexpensive to issue, and ScholarChip is on
• a state agency (BOCES) contract which ensures the
• best price. Also, a percentage of the purchase in the
• form of aid to the district is returned on an
• annual basis.
• The speed of the read – two kiosks at the main door
• of the high school process over 1000 students in
• under seven minutes.
• ID Card’s non-proprietary nature – school districts
• can utilize the same ID Cards for other applications,
• for example, Westbury uses staff ID Cards for
• controlling printer access and tracks copier usage
• by person with respect to quantity, color/BW,
• frequency, etc. This has been found very useful in
• curtailing personal printing at the district’s expense.
• ID Card’s inherent security – the data stored on the
• card is secured with a 64-bit encryption scheme,
• which is extremely difficult to copy or hack.
• Cloud-based storage – There is no need or costs
• associated with an on-site server. This also insures
• that data is accessible from any computer, from
• any location.
Where Do We Go From Here?
The gains that Westbury Schools
have made in both scholastic
achievement and overall attendance
have been well worth the commit-
ment and investment made in
implementing the ScholarChip
system. The district is now consider-
ing bus-based attendance using
wireless devices.
ScholarChip, as a leading supplier of
ID card security systems, can help
Westbury and school districts across
America automate services like
student and teacher attendance,
school visitor monitoring, cafeteria
point-of-sale activities, bus ride
tracking and more.
