Data Analysis
Instructions for sending Student Study Records to DynEd
If you would like to have your Student’s study records analyzed by DynEd you must send us your study records. Below is quick procedure for compressing and sending us your data folder. You will need to be using either Windows XP or Mac OS 10.3+.
1. Sit at a client machine on the network.
2. Find the “DynEd” folder on the file server.
3. Inside the “DynEd” folder you will find a “Data” folder.
4. You will need to compress this “Data” folder.
* Windows XP client – Right click on the “Data” folder and select the “Send To” menu option. Then select the “Compressed (zipped) Folder” option.
* Mac OS X client – Hold down the Control key and click on the “Data” folder and select the “Create Archive of ‘Data” option.
5. There will now be a compressed copy of the Data folder, either called Archive.zip or Data.zip.
6. Re-name the compressed file using the format: SchoolNameYYYYMMDD.zip, where YYYYMMDD is the year month and day.
7. Email this renamed file to josh@backbonecommunications.com.
You may consider utilizing a USB based Flash drive to copy the records from the server to a machine that has internet access. You would still compress the “Data” folder, but rather than emailing it, you could copy it to a Flash drive and then take this flash drive to a machine that has internet access. A 512MB drive should cost less than $30.
