"I like the fact that [SmartQ] provides an authoring environment. We are not locked into one questionnaire. We can develop what we need, as we need it."

TeleSage SmartQ™ and eQ™ software is used in a variety of educational settings from elementary education through post-doctoral research work. Read on to find out how your organization can apply TeleSage IVR and Web technology to its educational needs.

Automated Parent or Student Notification

Using DialQ™ outbound dialing technology with SmartQ software your organizaton can place automated reminders or notification calls. For example, use TeleSage software to inform parents about absenteeism: "Your son or daughter missed one or more periods today. Please press 1 if you would like to leave a message for the attendance office to explain this absence...". Or, use DialQ for a mass phoning campaign in the event of an emergency or school cancellations: "This is Highline School District. Due to the recent snowfall we have cancelled school for today, February 24th..." No staff time is needed to reach your entire school district in minutes, depending upon the number of telephone lines that you assign to the task.

Information Hotlines

SmartQ or eQ can allow parents or students to obtain information about class schedules, vacation dates, bus routes, or even report cards, with built-in authorization requirements. Your organization can also use DialQ to announce changes in bus schedules or other activities through automated bulk calling.

Teacher Surveys and Quality Assurance

One popular SmartQ or eQ application allows teachers to report on class behavior or progress after a substitute has worked with the class. Collecting this information allows the central office to track teacher satisfaction and the performance of its part-time staff.

Polling, Surveying, and Research

SmartQ and eQ allow universal access to students and staff though two common media: the telephone and the Internet. Your organization can conduct any survey or poll, or exchange any information in an automated fashion using relatively inexpensive software.
