Emerge is designed specifically for senior leaders, administrators and teaching staff at both primary and secondary stage education, providing them with access to on-the-go key data from a compact mobile device. Via Emerge, registration can be taken while simultaneously being written back to the school’s MIS. Additional student information including timetables, attendance and behavioural data can also be accessed wherever the teacher is located (both on and off school grounds) without the need to rely on a desktop PC.
At the launch of Emerge, Sir Bob Geldof outlined the importance of the new application, explaining that: “Equipping teachers with a device that gives them immediate access to the information they require is not only hugely beneficial from an administration and time management perspective, but also with respect to student safety. At the touch of a button, teachers are able to quickly access contact information for each student and of course their parents/guardians.”
Lawrence Royston, managing director, Groupcall expanded further on the intelligent and important aspects of the application adding that: “In an emergency situation, where the school system is down, off-line or access to the school is restricted, Emerge continues to deliver instant access to staff and student information. When retrieving and relying on paper-based registers and records is logistically unfeasible, Emerge has been specifically designed to offer efficiency and accessibility, as well as being a less expensive and more environmentally friendly alternative to paper-based records.”
