Plot student journeys as timelines
Student records can be complex - ever found yourself spending ten minutes explaining just one scenario? Visualise the Journey is a tool made for those working in education, allowing you to capture student journeys on a timeline. Plot long blocks of student activity, or mark one-day events. Capture all of a student journey, or just part of it... and see it through the lens of the HESA statutory cycle, or your own academic years.
