PExAdmin - Professional Experience Administration

PExAdmin replaces the paper-based, labour intensive, professional experience placement process with an easy to use web-based solution configured to support your placement processes.

Features include:

End-to-end management of your placement process

PExAdmin supports the entire placement process from recording offers from venues to capturing experience requirements and student preferences in the beginning of the year, through to recording attendance, reports and follow-on actions at the end of each placement.

Student self-service

Each student can log on to view their entire professional experience history and make selections for future placements. PExAdmin is the portal for students undertaking professional experiences.

Venue and Liaison Management

Venues and academic liaisons are managed and scheduled within PExAdmin allowing placement coordinators to keep track of those personal relationships.

Comprehensive Reporting

A dashboard provides an up-to-date snapshot of all experiences and the suite of common reports provide insight into individual students or experiences. Custom reports are also easily implemented..

Automated Student Allocation to Venues

The expert system at the heart of PExAdmin automatically allocates students to offers according to faculty rules and in consideration of student nominations.

PExAdmin provides a significant efficiency improvement for all users and delivers a better professional placement experience to students, venues, liaisons, and placement coordinators.

"Prior to the development of Prac Admin the Faculty of Education supported the roles of 4 full term equivalents (FTEs) dedicated to liaising with students and schools, to coordinating student preferences and the school placements on offer. Prac Admin was initially designed to replace the paper-based, labour intensive process with a web-based system with automated processes and reporting. With the deployment of Prac Admin our administrative burden in the roles of student liaison, school liaison and placement coordinators have significantly gained in efficiency."

"In the time that Prac Admin has been deployed to manage the professional experience programs within the Faculty of Education, the needs for placements have grown from 800 placements per annum to more than 2000 per annum. Despite this growth in demand the time dedicated by staff to this task has not scaled significantly and has allowed our personnel to address more pressing needs in education."
