If you haven't altready done so be sure to sign up for this Newsletter to receive a monthly bulletin containing all of the latest news and information.
RM Compare and Phys Ed - There's a joke that often circulates among educators: "I wasn't a proper teacher; I was a gym teacher." Surprisingly, this is sometimes used in a self-deprecating manner by PE teachers themselves. As a former PE teacher with over 20 years of experience, I can attest to the truth behind this jest. But why does this perception exist?
Responsive Design - Responsive design in the context of software products and devices refers to an approach that allows a user interface to adapt and optimize itself across different screen sizes and device types. How does RM Compare deal with the responsiveness challenge?
Working with RM Compare Data - For many users the standard reporting in RM Compare provides the information they need. There are however options to work more deeply with the data available.
Breakdancing at the Olympics: overcoming the judging challenge - OK. I have to admit that getting to grips with some of the newer sports in this years Olympics take a bit of time and an open mind. The idea of Breakdancing (or 'Breaking' so I'm told) debuting as an Olympic sport in Paris is er......a bit challenging, not least in how to judge and assess.
Comparative Judgement at the Olympics - What does Boxing and Breakdancing have in common? They both use the principles of Comparative Judgement to deal with subjectivity and ensure fairness.
Connecting things up - Eagle eyed Roadmap followers would have seen reference to RM Compare Connectors. While work is still ongoing, we are able to share some POC's (Proofs of Concept) to communicate some basic principles.
