Student Information System #
A student management system is a management information system for DIG to manage student data. Our student management system provides a portal for online applications, registering students in courses; education delivery with a learning management system (LMS); documenting grading, transcripts, results of student tests and other assessment scores; building student schedules; a calendar, student email, and payment resources as well as managing many other student-related data needs.
Learning Management Systems #
Detroit Institute of Gastronomy utilizes a Learning Management Systems (LMS) to deliver education to the students. All courses offered through Detroit Institute of Gastronomy will be delivered through our student portal. The student will be able to access the LMS through the portal anywhere there is an Internet connection.
DIG Students will be enrolled in a quarterly group in accordance to their scheduled classes. Once the student logs into the LMS, they will find the courses needed for their quarter. The student will also gain access to the ACFEF Apprenticeship Portal which functions as an electronic logbook, resource/document library and resume/portfolio display. All assignments, lecture and homework will be submitted through the LMS. It is required that a student complete all the assignments, including all discussions and lectures in the course on the LMS. The student will be required to log in frequently as to not fall behind in course work.
DIG Skills/Hours Tracking Portal #
The student can create logbook entries for the supervising chef to review and approve online. Entries can be linked to specific stations and skills in the logbook. The electronic ledger will allow apprentices to track their hours worked in each of the 10 stations. The apprentice can instantly view totals and percentage complete in each station. Apprentice portfolios are a way for apprentices to share their talents. Portfolios combine logbook entries and uploaded photos, as well as a resume building and display tool.
ACFEF Apprenticeship Portal #
The student can create a log into the ACFEF portal where they can enhance their apprenticeship by completing ACFEF section quizzes, engage certification practice exams, and complete registered written certification exams.
