Schooloscope.. what, where and its up to you about the why
The Guardian reports on the recently launched Schooloscope site, a 4ip funded project to make better (and fairer) sense of school performance data. It's still in beta and incorporates a base level of information, currently primarily from Ofsted reports but the intention is to add more. The Guardian like the design, although I think it's a bit purile and treats us like school-kids... ahhh, maybe thats who its aimed at so they can pick a better school!!! Anyway, maybe a skinnable "stupid" and "not-so-stupid" version would be nice. That said the presentation paradigm is spatially based using a slippy map as the background showing the selected school and the performance of those nearby. A "report card" style info sheet is then placed over the top. I can't fault this and the presentation is fair, although I've no doubt some teachers will quibble that it highlights league tables. As long as there is "performance" data, it will be presented and this is as good as it gets.
