Capturing Marks per Learner

This feature within the d6 school management solution is ideal for learners joining your school mid-year, ensuring their previous academic history is accurately captured for reporting. We have designed this three-step process to lighten your administrative load and ensure data integrity.

A Note on Compliance

To satisfy Department of Education (DOE) requirements for SA-SAMS exports, please ensure you enter marks at least at the Orange Level (Task Level). Promotion formulas should also be created at this level to maintain accurate academic records.

Step 1: Choose Subjects

Our platform allows you to quickly align a learner’s profile with their specific curriculum needs.

  • Navigate to My School > Learners > Learner Marks > Marks Per Learner.

  • Select the correct Year.

  • In the Learner Search block, type at least three characters (name, surname, or admission number) to find the individual.

  • Choose the Term or select 'All Terms'.

  • Select the required Subject(s) and use the right arrow to link them to the learner.

  • Click Submit. A confirmation message will appear in the bottom right-hand corner once the subjects are successfully added.

Step 2: Manage Subjects

Ensuring learners are linked to the correct subject groups is vital for accurate reporting.

  • Within the same search screen, select the Step 2 tab.

  • Double-click the relevant Subject.

  • Use the drop-down menu to select the specific Subject Group for the learner.

  • Click Save. You will receive a success message confirming the changes.

Step 3: Enter Marks

This final step provides the clarity needed to track learner progress effectively.

  • Select the Step 3 tab and search for your learner.

  • Choose the Term and the Subject you wish to update.

  • Click the "Plus" button to add a new mark entry.

  • Select your Capture Level: * Green Level: Assessment Level.

    • Orange Level: Component/Task Level (Recommended for DOE compliance).

    • Red Level: Subject Level.

  • Enter the raw Mark and the 'Out of' value.

  • The d6 platform will automatically calculate the percentage and level, adjusting the relevant Learning Outcome and Subject marks for you.

  • Click Save Changes to store the records.
