Volunteer Software Development Team - New Cadet Portal

See PMs :slight_smile:

And other words for forum purposes.

Just googled :grimacing:

Yeah they didn’t pay Ā£8.5k a pop for them, that’s for sure :wink:

They are excellent bits of kit though.

What’s the idea behind their purchase?

Video conferencing and so forth between the RHQs and HQ I think was one of the reasons - has massively reduced the need to travel down to Cranners for Command Board as has the organisational wide implementation of E1 and Teams :slight_smile:

yeah i suspect that is the case…

which makes me want to raise the obvious question - why isn’t the RAFAC contracted outlikewise?

like i say, similar size organisation, with a similar structure and arguble similar funding justifications…

why is it ok for one, but not considered for another??
(or is this simply answered by price/budgets available? - while the RAF and RAFAC are similar in size, the budgets are not…)

We don’t have anywhere near comparable infrastructure to the RAF. Certainly not centrally controlled infra.

Does make me wonder why a laptop connected to a tv wasn’t deemed appropriate for that.

Indeed.

But we all know that answer dont we… someone wanted it at the ivory towers so money was found for that.

Shame they cant kit my cadets properly or provide proper training resources.

Cadet Portal v2.3.0 has been released this afternoon with no disruption to users.

This release included a number of changes in the background (which the cadets don’t need to know about) as well as the addition of the latest How to Guide on the Bronze Space Syllabus to the Training Dashboard → Aviation page and the addition of ACTO 99 to Downloads (since Staff Cadets need to see their mandatory training requirements).

Release notes have been issued through Cadet Portal which the cadets will see when they next login.

If you have any questions, please post away!

Has there been an update in SMS that means we can’t see a cadet’s Ultilearn scores for their classification subjects? I think I may be going potty but I’ve looked at several cadets and there’s nothing in their Ultilearn qualifications. Am I looking in the wrong place?

SMS is working for me and showing Ultilearn data. A bit slow for the data to come through, but that’s not unusual.

All I’m getting is: there are no Ultilearn classifications to display. I swear it wasn’t like this last time I checked!

Are they current courses or ones that have been replaced? Sometimes old ones disappear

Current courses. Had an email from a cadet who had just passed his senior. I thought I’d check on SMS but there’s nothing there or on any other cadet. I don’t check that frequently but is that normal?

Doesn’t that come under classifications not under ultilearn quals?

Yep. It’s under the Classification Tab, then Summary. Scroll to the bottom of the page to see the exams the cadet has attempted.


That’s in classification summary

Wow, this is weird. It’s started to show the results now. How odd. Thank you for your help!
