| CMTS
is an application designed for assisting Texas educators in tracking and
reporting on the progress of students assigned to the Content Mastery Lab on
their particular campus.

| There are actually
two programs that make up CMTS. One is the Logon/Logoff program and the other
is the Administrative program. Students logon (by clicking the green traffic
light) and then selecting their name and subject OR logoff (by clicking the red
traffic light) and then selecting their name. (The students may type their name
in, use the keyboard to navigate to their name, or use the mouse to scroll down
to their name.) The total amount of time spent by each student in each subject
is logged into the main data file. Teachers may then query this datafile using
a "query by example" style form, allowing them to extract any combination of
data they choose for on screen or hardcopy reports. |
|
Below is what the students
see when first logging onto CMTS
|
|
|
|
Once the student has
selected to logon or logoff (by clicking one of the traffic lights above) they
may then select their name and subject as shown below) The student may choose
to start typing his or her name until it becomes visible, or they may choose to
use the mouse to scroll down, or the cursor arrows on the keyboard to scroll.
|
|
|
|
After selecting their name
and subject, the student will be asked to verify the information before they
are officially logged in and their time begins.
|
|
|
|
Logging off the system is
even easier! The student just clicks the red traffic light and selects their
name
