Lead the design, development, implementation and maintenance of enterprise systems to support the core functions of the department of Learning Environments and Technology Services.QUT Assignment Minder System (AM) - Designed, developed and implemented in only three months AM tracks the submission of 300,000+ assignments a year from point of submission to marker, and back to the student. The system uses barcodes to track assignments to ensure accurate information is available to track each step in the process, who handled it, and when it was handled. The development of this system enabled the implementation of other unique solutions such as a self submission box that allows students to submit assignments themselves saving staff hours of labour. Another key feature was the addition of online submission which accepts submissions after hours and prints them using students printing quota with a unique barcode, stapled and ready for delivery to marker.Since its implementation the Assignment Minder System has had keen interest from other universities and its implementation is underway at the University of Auckland.LETS Reporting Service - By collating key data from across the university this system provides critical reporting in realtime to aid LETS management staff in making strategic decisions. Since its implementation the system has become widely used across other areas of QUT for monthly, and quarterly reporting.
