THE DESIGN OF A SURVEILLANCE AND DETECTION SYSTEM WAS PRESENTED FOR APPLICATION TO THE CONTINUOUS PROGRESS SCHOOL, DEVELOPED BY DR. EDWIN READ OF BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY. THE PURPOSE OF THIS SYSTEM, PART OF AN INFORMATION PROCESSING CENTER, WAS (1) TO MONITOR AND SURVEY THE STUDY ACTIVITIES OF STUDENTS, (2) TO DETECT THE PRESENCE OF REAL AND IMMINENT PROBLEMS IN STUDENT PERFORMANCES, AND (3) TO ALERT APPROPRIATE PERSONNEL FOR ACTION. THE SYSTEM WOULD FOLLOW UP ON STUDENT PERFORMANCE OF ASSIGNED TASKS, CONDUCT PERIODIC REVIEWS OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE TO COMPARE ACTUAL PERFORMANCE WITH THAT EXPECTED, AND DETERMINE THE PERSON TO BE ALERTED IN THE EVENT OF TROUBLE. FLOW DIAGRAMS OF THE SYSTEM WERE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT. RELATED REPORTS ARE ED 010 561, ED 010 563, AND ED 010 564. (AL)
