What is the advantage of using Keep Track over a paper based system?
The first main advantage is the speed and simplicity with which you can collate and examine evidence that a child has reached a particular Early Learning Goal. This is extremely useful during an Ofsted inspection.

My colleagues are not very PC literate. Will they cope?
Keep Track is rich in functionality, so to get the most from it, it helps if you are reasonably confident using a PC. However, it has been designed with close consultation with the people who will use it. As a result, the main task of recording observations is very simple and broken down into a series of small steps.
