News & Highlights
Microsoft BizTalk/SharePoint Opportunity: Dynamic
Applications is aggressively looking for Microsoft BizTalk Server and
SharePoint Portal Server opportunities in the healthcare, publishing,
government, and retail sectors. Incentives are available for these projects
provided they can be used as references by DynamicApps and by Microsoft.
New Learning Standards Management system: Dynamic
Applications has developed a Learning Standards Management system for the
Brighter Choice Foundation and Brighter Choice Charter Schools. BCCS found that
off-the-shelf solutions did not support their goal of measuring hundreds of
specific learning standards per grade. As an example, students at Brighter
Choice learn about making change from a dollar or who wrote the Gettysburg
Address. Teachers assess their knowledge of the topic, and parents get a
monthly printed report card showing that assessment and the average for the
class. This gives parents an objective measure of how their students are doing,
as well as a tool for holding the school accountable for their child’s
education.
New Web-based Healthcare Service: Dynamic
Applications partnered with long-time associates in healthcare to develop a web
service to support students with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder). One of the hurdles that physicians face in treating ADHD is getting
accurate information about how the student is doing between office visits. The
web-based service enables teachers, parents, and students to assess the manner
in which ADHD is affecting the student’s progress on a weekly basis. The
physician can review the collected data, be notified of potential problems, and
use it to make treatment decisions. Meanwhile, teachers are given suggestions
about how to manage specific behaviors. A foundation-sponsored pilot project
was recently completed, successfully, and funding is being sought for a larger
trial to potentially be followed by a national rollout. Dynamic Applications
developed a similar site for people with asthma in 1998.
