To manage the laboratories I use John
Latham's laboratory management system ARCADE. This is in my opinion
a great system. It looks after marks, deadlines, excuses and so forth,
keeps students automatically informed of where they are up to (or often,
how far behind they are) and differs from many systems in that its motivated
by the need to manage the entire departments laboratories, rather than
evolving from a tool for managing a single course.Unfortunately we dont
have any readily digestible information on ARCADE for you at present, due
mainly to the lack of a good logo. If you are particularly interested in
Arcade you should email John Latham.
