Transforming Data Management at Imperial College London
Imperial College London launched a dedicated department to streamline data processes across all disciplines, providing enrichment courses that empower every student.
Initially, spreadsheets were used to model data management needs, but the goal was to develop a professional system capable of efficiently handling large volumes of information.
Terrabase delivered a tailored, cost-effective solution through detailed collaboration with the team. The web-based system now enables real-time attendance tracking and centralized record management, supporting students and staff across all Imperial College campuses.
Streamlined Course Management
All courses are now organised within one unified system, with the flexibility to build comprehensive programs from multiple sub-courses. The platform also simplifies large-scale administration by seamlessly tracking attendance and managing grades for thousands of students.
Simplicity & Accessibility
The platform was designed with usability at its core, ensuring an intuitive experience for all staff — from administrators and managers to lecturers — each with their own unique responsibilities and needs.
Real-Time Attendance Tracking
Lecturers can record attendance instantly as students arrive, with a registration process that’s fast, reliable, and optimised for tablet use. For large cohorts of 300+ students, the system also supports swipe-card check-ins to streamline entry and reduce delays.
Flexible Marking System
The platform supports a wide range of assessment methods, from oral exams and written assignments to practical work and beyond, with the ability to apply customised weightings. Results are presented in a clear, accessible format, making it easy for departmental auditors and staff to review and validate assessment data.
Powerful Insights & Reporting
Hundreds of staff rely on the system daily to generate critical reports that track the department’s key performance indicators for university oversight and external audits.
