PackTracker
PackTracker is a course resource management tool enabling administrators to streamline and better manage the workflow connected with clearing copyright, and/or digitising material for educational courses, from request to delivery.
From the time of request, through copyright clearance, to delivery, PackTracker creates and records information about coursepack items and their status.
Cost-effective and easy to use, PackTracker is the only software to offer:
•
HERONweb interactivity : PackTracker and HERONweb are able to communicate with each other, enabling uploading of requests and feedback of status changes.
•
Streamlined copyright clearance process: PackTracker is designed to generate automated permission requests that you can send directly to the content owner.
•
Displayed costs against budgets across different budget models: Whether your budget model is by pack, extract or per page/student, PackTracker allows you to display estimated and actual costs, ensuring you remain within budgetary allocations.
•
Week-by-week scheduling to help avoid workflow jams: By associating each extract with a ‘teaching week’, staff can identify and prioritise articles that are awaiting clearance, need scanning or chasing.
•
Easy repeat use of packs: PackTracker’s copy and edit tools allow old packs to be renewed quickly and easily.
•
Reduced time spent on administrative tasks: From producing contents, copyright and cover pages to notifying lecturers and course designers that packs are complete, PackTracker can take care of all of the administrative tasks involved in compiling course packs.
•
CLA Blanket Licence Usage Reports: These can be generated by PackTracker , including interim reports for internal checking.
•
CLA Blanket Licence Cover Pages: These can be created as PDF files ready to attach to your digital file. Contains all necessary information.
•
CLA Blanket Licence Cover Adding: PackTracker can add the cover to your existing file, removing an old cover if required.
•
‘School’ Activity monitoring: Using school-level access, schools can do their own digitisation with central monitoring and a single CLA report.

“Packtracker is a fantastic initiative that enables us to manage the electronic course pack production process from start to finish; from lecturers submitting requests for readings, to prioritising scanning schedules. It streamlines the copyright clearance process and means we can process far more material than ever before. The LSE Centre for Learning Technology could never have scaled up their e-coursepack service without this product.” Dr Jane Secker, Learning Technology Librarian, London School of Economics and Political Science.
