Web-based professional development (PD) tracking software offers several advantages over using Google Docs, Excel, Word, or similar tools for tracking PD activities.

1. Accessibility

Web-based PD tracking software can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection, allowing for easy access and updates on-the-go. This is particularly useful for professionals who may need to update their PD records from different locations.

2. Collaboration

Most web-based PD tracking software allows for collaboration among multiple users, making it easier for teams or departments to track PD activities collectively. This can streamline communication and ensure that everyone is on the same page regarding their professional development progress.

PD Able is an ideal solution for organisations seeking complete control over every aspect of PD management and delivery. Take the helm to supervise and collaborate with all members of your PD system, be they employers, organisations, or individual professionals.

3. Data organisation and analysis

PD tracking software often includes features for organising and analysing data, such as sorting, filtering, and reporting tools. This can make it easier to track progress over time, identify trends, and generate reports for stakeholders.

With a single click, PD able generates a PDF record or log of all activities that have been completed, it's available for download at any time. For Employers and PD System Owners, several data filtering options are available to create downloadable reports. 

4. Automation

Some web-based PD tracking software offers automation features, such as reminders for upcoming deadlines or automatic tracking of PD hours based on attendance at events. This can save time and reduce the likelihood of errors in tracking.

We're working on a new set of automated reminders which will include email and dashboard prompts.

5. Security and privacy

Web-based PD tracking software often provides better security and privacy features compared to using generic tools like Google Docs or Excel. This can be particularly important for sensitive information related to professional development.

While Google Docs, Excel, Word, and similar tools can be useful for basic tracking of PD activities, web-based PD tracking software offers additional features and benefits that can make the process more efficient and effective for educators and organisations.
