Introduction

Staff

Staff in the Meshed Platform refers to the individuals who work within an education provider and are responsible for managing student data and other related information.  The efficient management of staff data in a student management system is critical to ensure the smooth running of an educational institution by improving efficiency and reducing administrative workload and to provide a better experience for both staff and students. Effective staff management can also help to ensure compliance with relevant regulations and requirements, such as those related to staff records and training.

Roles and responsibilities

Different staff can have a wide range of differing roles and responsibilities, including administrative staff, academic staff, and support staff.

Administrative staff typically are responsible for managing student records, handling admissions and enrolment processes, managing student fees and payments, and providing administrative support to academic staff.

Academic staff typically are responsible for managing student progress and performance, designing and delivering course content and assessments, providing academic guidance and support to students, and assessing student work and assignments.

Support staff typically may include IT support personnel, and student support officers, who are responsible for providing technical support, managing resources, and providing additional support services to students.

Access and permission

Staff members typically have different levels of access and permissions based on their role and responsibilities. For example, administrative staff may have access to student records and financial information, while academic staff may have access to student progress and assessment data.
