APOLLO (A Portfolio of Life Skills and Learning Outcomes) is an online, student-centered tool for enrolling youth and tracking individual outcomes.

Whether you are an educator, program sponsor, school principal, youth program administrator, parent or mentor, APOLLO empowers you to see program outcomes and access real student work with a few mouse clicks. You can now explore the richness of students’ work without relying solely on a numerical assessment of the student’s accomplishment.

APOLLO gives instructors the means to assess, intervene and provide options for improving student learning during the program. It measures both quantitative and qualitative outcomes and tracks the performance of YLA participants in the following ways:

• E-Journal
• Daily Pulse
• Online Student Web Folders
• Online Competency Tests
• Pre-Post Quizzes
• Self-Assessment Questionnaires
• Digital Student Portfolios
• Graphical Reports

APOLLO yields highly reliable data because data collection of participant progress and program outcomes is automatic, online and real-time. Parents and other caregivers are empowered to participate in YLA by having access to view student portfolios and support students in the program.

APOLLO can help you to provide the outcomes data that donors require in order to justify continued funding for your programs, obtain new support to expand the activities or extend the reach of your programs, as well as build the credibility of your existing programs and your organizations’ reputation for serving the community.

The APOLLO enrollment and tracking system offers completely integrated monitoring, analysis and reporting that lets you review performance metrics.
APOLLO offers these unique benefits:

• Take the learning home. Students can dial in via the Internet and login to the system to review modules, take quizzes, published finish work and check their portfolios.
• Automate class management. The completely automated infrastructure maintains daily attendance, tracks project completions and creates reports that can be used in student assessments.
• Review overall performance. Completely integrated management tools allow staff to quickly create assessments, reports and analysis, and to track performance over time.

The system is user-friendly and intuitive, and can be operated with minimal training. Urban Tech offers on-site training, a user manual and telephone support to new users for one full year.

The system also offers these advantages:

• Security. The system allows for multiple security levels and limits access to key functions and participant data by level. Only instructors can view and assess student work, for instance, and only administrators can allow access to staffing functions.
• Privacy. The system uses a login and password to protect student work and grades from unauthorized viewers.
• Accessibility. APOLLO is distributed via the Internet, so you can quickly implement it using technology you understand, and equipment you presently own.
