DDD User Experience in Gauteng “Excellent dashboards are provided on DDD which can inform good decision making regarding types of interventions to implement and target subjects and learner cohorts. “Now we are able to use the Dashboard to intervene in order to remedy matters. Accessing these dashboards and thus making optimal use of DDD must be aggressively encouraged at all levels. - Nishana Parsad CES: Curriculum • • Interventions can now be done by the school, using the data to get parental support, plan intervention classes, etc. The data can be used by the curriculum subject advisors to support schools with strategies to intervene. ” - Pranay Devchand CES: Information Systems & Strategic Planning “It is very important to visit a school well informed and you can only achieve that when you use Dashboard. ” - Lizzie Shiburi Circuit Manager 8
