Data also helps an organisation for purposes such as accidents, appeals, equal opportunities and funding purposes.

These would include enrolment forms and records of initial assessment results that would help to identify learner’s needs, a scheme of work, session plans and timetables to help plan each session and give a firm structure to the course, records of attendance, and agreed ground rules to check that they are being followed. As well as records of what has been taught and covered in each session, tutorial review records.
