Overview

In PEMS, we have the role of Proctor.  A proctor is responsible for ensuring their students complete their work and for grading any assignments.  Proctors have access to only their students.

Multiple Proctors and students are assigned to a homeroom.  PEMS creates Groups in Moodle based on homeroom.  So multiple proctors can 'share' a group of students.

The Word Press site is used for online student enrollment and bill pay.  The parent enters the enrollment form for their student after becoming a member of the Word Press site.  The enrollment form is entered directly into PEMS for potential enrollment.

The principal of the Word Press Site is the owner of the site itself.  The principal establishes the bank account that all fees are paid into and then pays Studia Nova the agreed share of revenue.

Studia Nova recruits principals as its customers, and principals pay Studia Nova revenue.

Principals recruit proctors. Proctors recruit students.  Proctors act like teachers and through their own networks get students and parents to trust them as their teachers.  This is aligned with the market, parents do not trust systems, they trust people with their children.

Proctors are motivated to recruit students because the share in the tuition revenue.  Because proctors share in the revenue, they pay a fee to access the services of Studia Nova and they pay a fee to the principal to manage the billing and sharing out of revenue.

Proctors must also sign up on the Word Press Site and pay a membership fee in order to run their own 'micro-school.'
