Abstract: Tracking progress and performance data of subjects by building rubrics of data entry fields to be tracked, assigning a machine readable tag to each data field, observing subjects, forming opinions based on such observations, using a tag reading device to read data field tags corresponding to observations and opinions, transmitting tag data to a database, and comparing such data between subjects and over time.

Abstract: A method and system for collecting and tracking objective and subjective performance data of students by selecting data entry fields to be tracked, assigning a bar code to each data entry field, scanning the bar code of a desired data entry field, entering objective data, for example as audio, image and/or video input, relative to the desired data entry field into a central database, and accessing the entered data at a later date for subjective evaluation relative to student performance.
