How to export Teacher Judgments / Student XML (Victorian Schools)

The information contained in this article provides schools with the steps required to import the student XML file out of Accelerus Light for importing into CASES21/CHESS. Schools requiring information regarding the process to import the XML into CASES21/CHESS should refer to the CASES21/CHESS Help Desk.

How often must a school import a XML file into CASES21

All Victorian Government schools are expect to import their Victorian Curriculum results into CASES21/CHESS at the end of semester 1 and 2 reports. The Semester 1 import must be done prior to the set up of Semester 2 report, and the Semester 2 import must be done prior to the end of the year in order for CASES21/CHESS to be rolled over for the new year.

 How to export the XML file from Accelerus Light

  2. If any student has been manually entered during the semester, import a new Student XML file out of CASES21/CHESS and import it into Accelerus Light.
  3. Click on Management
  4. Click on Import and Export Data
  5. Click on Export: Student XML
  6. Click on Next

  8. Click Download
  9. If prompted, save the XML file to a location of your choice, or go to the Downloads folder of the computer and move the file to a location of your choice
  10. Give the file to the CASES21/CHESS operator to be imported into CASES21/CHESS

 XML file messages

  • x students with their results will be exported
    • This means these students' results will be exported for import into CASES21/CHESS.
    • This should be all students in years 0 - 10.
    • Unless you wish to exclude students, leave the option as 'Export these students' details'.
  • x students will not be exported because of invalid CASES21 details (try importing CASES21 data first)
    • This is caused by students who have been added to Accelerus Light manually and who do not have a campus or registration number.
    • This can be fixed by exporting a student XML file out of CASES21 and importing it into Accelerus Light.
    • This must be fixed and the export student XML process rerun for these scores to be imported into CASES21/CHESS.
  • x students will be exported with no results
    • This is generally due to student who exited prior to reports being written.
    • If these students should have results, ask the relevant teacher/s to enter results. Once this is done, rerun the export student XML process.
    • If these students should not have results, decide whether to import their data into CASES21/CHESS. Select 'Export these student's details' to export these students or select 'Don't export these student's details' to exclude these students.
  • x results will be exported as averages of multiple class results
    • This is not an error. This informs schools of the result being exported to CASES21/CHESS, where multiple teachers have assessed the same student on the same curriculum area/strand and have given them a different result.
    • Schools may open the XML files after exporting and change the scores if they do not wish to use the score chosen by Accelerus Light.
    • The highest score given by the teachers, is the score reported to CASES21/CHESS.
  • x students will not be exported because of an invalid year level
    • Only Years 0 - 10 and UG are valid year levels to be exported into CASES21/CHESS
    • Unless the students listed should have their results exported to CASES21/CHESS, no action needs to be taken to address this message.
    • For Primary schools with this message, check the year level assigned to the student is UG or between 0 and 10
    • For secondary schools this may be students in years 11 and 12.
    • Where a student'sents year level is updated, re-run the Export Student XML processes.
  • x results will be reported as roll-ups of class results
    • This indicates that the school incorrectly assessed on 2016 Victorian Curriculum rather than 2017 Victorian Curriculum.
    • As only Curriculum Area scores should have been entered by teacher the export process averages the scores to an overall score.
    • This message is an information message only to inform them of the result be imported to CASES21/CHESS.
    • Any school with this message is reminded to use the 2017 Victorian Curriculum structure in Semester 2.
