Tired of copying and pasting the same information for each piece of BTEC documentation?
The BTEC documentation generator helps reduce this task to a 2 minute job.
Import your BTEC assessment plan as per the normal BTEC layout and populate the fields as directed.
Obtain electronic signatures from each person mentioned in the plan (make sure to get their express permission before doing this).
That’s it, you can then open the master copy for either assessment record sheets, internal verification documents or resubmissions and 90% of the work has been done for you, all you have to do is the part that matters, the grading.
The document given has a science plan attached for reference, replace this with your chosen plan and the mail merge will do the rest of the work. This will work for any BTEC course.
Trailer video to show the capabilities here:

This software has been tested on 3 separate computers: a macbook, a microsoft surface and a laptop and each worked well. Please follow the instructions in the guide video if any help is needed.

Included is a html file which holds the code for a sound meter, functionality can be seen in the video linked here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MLkyPn4nN5YfDTMdSgeRcWarPW5WGzxE/view?usp=sharing
Are you still using a timer or stopwatch to help with behaviour management? Why not automate the entire process instead?
Functions:
Measures the loudness of audio from your device and registers the loudness according to: silent, quiet, talking and shouting.
The meter will continue measuring even if the programme is minimised.
A quietness meter can be toggled on/off to display score of the quietness visually. Scales of the quietness bar can be customised to suit classes.
The values of duration at each loudness level can be reset if needed and recording of audio can be paused.
Sensitivity of the meter can be changed as needed, reference values for each category is displayed.
Seating arrangement below can be quickly setup by dragging and dropping the shapes above into the grid.
Fixing the tables in the grid allows for pupils (represented by circles in each table) to be clicked and cycle through colours: green, amber and red.
Colours can be used to highlight where key individuals are present in the class.
Tables and colours can be reset as needed.
The audio is not stored, only the loudness is measured and reported into the table for the duration.
The programme is not able to store any audio files for later use.
