Rugged Tablet PC's are designed for those who work in the factory, warehouse or in the field and are often used for data collection activities. They can also take the place of the manual completion of forms. The primary value of a ruggedized tablet pc is that the data is collected or the forms completed once, and the information does not have to be entered or re-keyed into an office computer. This saves time and eliminates transcription errors. Signature capture is another popular usage, particularly for service or delivery workers who need to capture the customers' or package recipients' signature.

Preparing for the E-Qualifications launch
Some key members of the E-Qualifications development team met this afternoon to discuss the forthcoming launch event. The purpose of the meeting was to plan the event and agree who's-doing-what.
Pictured from left to right are: Caroline Douglas (Qualifications Officer), Tamsin Rae (Administrator), Jim Everett (Diploma in E-Learning: Delivery) and John Gordon (lead consultant).
Computer Games event
The event to support teachers of the new NPAs in Computer Games Development took place yesterday at Scotland's Colleges in Stirling.
There has been a fantastic response to this course, with it being over-subscribed many times over. Thirty-five people attended yesterday's event, mostly teachers from Scottish schools but college lecturers too.
The event was a collaboration between Scotland's Colleges and SQA Academy. Participants undertook some [online] preparation via SQA Academy prior to yesterday's event, which was a face-to-face meeting, led by Colin Maxwell of Carnegie College.
I wasn't able to attend but, by all accounts, if was a good day. It's planned to have a couple more events due to the demand for this course in March and June.
Contact Fiona Saxby for more information about this course or contact Hilary if you want to know more about the qualifications.

Standards colloquium
I attended a "standards colloquium" in the Grand Central Hotel, in Glasgow, yesterday. It was a full day event and this is a busy time of the year for me and my team but it was time well spent. These events are great for giving you a broader perspective on education.
There were some top notch speakers at the event, including the Director of Qualifications from Ofqual, the body responsible for standards in England. There was also an interesting talk from Aileen Ponton, the CEO of SCQF, about qualification frameworks throughout the world. Rob van Krieken, of SQA, gave a talk about how SQA tries to monitor the standards of qualifications over time, to ensure comparability of standards.
I learnt a lot from the event, particularly about international developments in qualification frameworks, which Aileen described as "an international phenomenon", and how SCQF compares to other frameworks, particularly the European Qualification Framework (EQF).
