This project has delivered and continues to deliver great results. An example of this is our recent continuous assessment research project where we built a project team from Daymap schools across Australia and looked at ways to use technology to support continuous assessment and feedback. One of our strengths is in working closely with schools, especially schools that have a vision for what they want from technology in teaching and learning. While Daymap is a mature, out of the box solution I never consider it complete, as it continues to evolve and absorb ideas from our schools. “Daymap, as it is now, has been in use in schools since 2005. It is used across the country in varying settings, from small country schools to large prestigious independent schools, from cloud hosted clusters of schools to distance and home education. Since then, Daymap has evolved to become the most comprehensive and flexible learning and teaching management system in Australia. Working with schools, in between other projects, this system slowly grew until it became a mature, out of the box solution several years later. It was around 2001 when Guy was working for Microsoft Consulting Services that he was contracted to develop a proof of concept online teacher’s journal, which became the precursor to Daymap. Our Director Guy Thomas has been involved in education software since the late 90’s.
