Format of data required for registration of School/Institution, Teachers and Students for ELLI

School

We will require the Name and (if a school), DFES Number and name of LEA of the school/institution

Teachers

For each class group we require some simple data on the class teacher (who will manage students doing profiles). This data is:

1. Teacher Title
2. Unique Teacher Initials

Students

The table below shows the format of data required for students that will be loaded directly to the ELLI Online system. It consists of 8 columns as shown below. All columns, except col 4 (UPN), are required. The information can usually be obtained from your information management system (eg SIMS) very easily. However please take care with pupil names eg: don't include nicknames; the order should be first name, middle, surname.

Students are identified within our system by the ELLI Student ID and are identifiable to teachers because the ID is made up of the students initials and dob. Our system generates the ID automatically from the name and dob. Note that students' names are NOT retained so all data on our system is anonymous. The UPN will be essential for future data analysis but is not required for registration.

The data has to be either:

1. a TAB separated text file, without column headings following the format of the table below. You can create this kind of file from an Excel spreadsheet file by simply saving the spreadsheet as a file of type Text (Tab delimited) (*.txt);
2. or an Excel spreadsheet.

You can email us with the School information we require (see top of this page) and attach the student data file to the email. You should send your email to your ELLI contact person.

If you have problems with any of this, there are contact details at the Contact link on the Home Page.

This will be used to uniquely identify the student within our system

NB The name is used to generate initials and is NOT retained on our system.
