About ILS Pro
|
|
|
The Internet Logging System for
Professional Development
(ILSPRO) is an on-line
documentation, supervision, and
program evaluation tool.
The
Internet Logging System
for Professional
Development (ILSPRO)
represents a new tool
for insuring accuracy
and accountability in
professional training
and service delivery. Specifically, it is
programmed to measure
the quality and quantity
of field-experience
afforded practicum and
internship students.
Further, the ILS
utilizes training and
practice standards
established by
professional
organizations such as
APA and NASP. Through
the use of computer
technology the ILS
overcomes many of the
inadequacies associated
with traditional
paper-and-pencil
methods. Over the last
three years trainers and
students
from universities across
the United States have
asked for, and been
given access to the ILS.
Feedback methods have
included interviews,
reviews and walkthroughs
with over one hundred
trainers and students.
Factors contributing to
the viability of the ILS
includes:
- Need and/or
Desire--both
qualitative and
quantitative data
suggest these is a
need for a tool such
as the ILS.
- Improvement
on Current Methods--both
qualitative and
quantitative data
denote the
superiority of the
ILS over traditional
paper-and-pencil
methods. In
addition, the
enhanced supervision
and program
evaluation features
of the ILS
significantly
augment traditional
methods.
- Learning
Curve--because
the ILS uses
computer technology
most trainers and
students appreciate
its easy access and
user-friendly
qualities
- Quality--the
organization and
reliability of the
data analysis
features, coupled
with the legibility
of the various
reports are praised
by trainers and
students alike.
- Service--students,
supervisors, and
program coordinators
all share in the
monitoring and
management of
service data. The
ILS provides a
valuable service to
all who use it.
- Existence--the
ILS is not an idea,
it is a viable
product. The current
version is an
upgrade from the
original program. We
will continue to
improve the ILSPRO
in order to insure
the highest quality
service possible.
The ILS has been
nominated for or
received various awards.
Thank you to
these organizations; we
are very proud and
excited to have been
nominated for each of
these.
