Technology Support Available at Northeast SABES
- The Technology Support Northeast SABES provides is varied. We offer phone and email technical assistance, workshops, on-site visits, trainings and open labs.
- We provide training and support for SMARTT (System for Managing Accountability and Results Through Technology), which is the State’s online system for all DOE funded ABE programs in the state. http://www.doe.mass.edu/acls/smartt/default.html
- Cognos is the reporting component for SMARTT. This 3rd party product allows programs to draw information from the data they have been collecting for SMARTT over the past five years.
- We provide trainings on using Cognos and developing reports and charts that can be used for program analysis and Community Planning. They are listed at http://calendar.sabes.org/northeast
- If you are unable to attend SMARTT or COGNOS trainings, please call and we will attempt to make other arrangements.
- All trainings require pre-registration and tend to fill quickly. Please call to reserve a seat. If you are registered and cannot attend, please call to cancel so that others may be able to participate
- General Technology Trainings – These trainings are offered throughout the year. Trainings may be provided on Software applications, Hardware issues, Troubleshooting, Internet Searching, Integrating Technology into the Classroom and other subjects based on a needs analysis and requests.
- Northeast SABES maintains several listservs:
A listserv is a means by which the members of the list can post comments, announcements and questions to all the people on the list. In this way, a community of people with similar interests and concerns can exchange ideas and discuss questions about a specific topic. The submitted questions and comments are e-mailed to all of the people who have subscribed to that particular listserv. The list moderator reserves the right to approve all submitted postings and subscription requests.
- The Northeast SMARTT listserv is intended to notify those working with either SMARTT data entry or looking at SMARTT and COGNOS data of any new changes or developments within the SMARTT/COGNOS systems. *If you are having a problem with SMARTT or COGNOS, it should always be posted to this list. All of the regional SABES techs are on each other’s lists, as is Donna Cornellier. In case your regional tech is out of the office, there is always someone else monitoring the list and you will generally receive the fastest reply to your questions by sending them here. Posts to this list should be related to SMARTT and/or COGNOS issues only.
- The Northeast Technology listserv exists to notify subscribers of the latest tech info, trends, virus/spyware issues, technology sharing groups meetings, or to share any other technological information and resources of interest.
- TheNortheast Practitioner listserv is intended to serve as a vehicle through which ABE practitioners in the greater Northeast region can communicate with and send announcements to one another about happenings and news relevant to the field, and to seek support or information. Any member can post a message to the listserv, as long as it is related to adult basic education. For example, it can be used to post job announcements or to share resources with other list members.
