Using Midaz

  • Organization & Ledger: The University registers as an Organization in Midaz and establishes a Ledger to track all academic activities as transactions.
  • Assets: Each course can be set up as an Asset with a unique identifier.
  • Student Portfolios: For each student, you can create a Portfolio to act as the student’s academic record, storing all relevant academic metrics.
  • Accounts for academic metrics: create accounts for various academic metrics within each student’s portfolio. Examples include:
    • Course enrollments Account: Records the courses the student has enrolled in.
    • Grades Account: Tracks the grades the student receives.
    • Attendance Account: Monitors class attendance.
    • Achievements Account: Records extracurricular achievements and recognitions.
  • Transactions: Use transactions to update accounts based on academic activities:
    • Course enrollment: When a student enrolls in a course, create a transaction moving an entry from a general course pool account (e.g., @external/available-courses) to the student’s “Course Enrollments” account.
    • Grade assignment: When grades are assigned, create a transaction that updates the student’s “Grades” account by transferring “funds” (grades) from the class’s grade account (e.g., @external/grades) to the student’s grade account.
    • Attendance marking: For attendance, update the “Attendance” account by moving funds from an attendance monitoring account (e.g., @external/monitors) to the student’s account.
    • Achievements: Similarly, add achievements to the “Achievements” account via transactions.
  • Reports: Midaz can generate comprehensive academic reports for each student, covering enrollments, grades, attendance, and achievements. This reporting can aid academic counseling and streamline transcript generation.
    • For instance, you can retrieve all transactions of one account, specifying the Grades Account, to calculate the student’s GPA based on the balance available.
