Number of staff trained (B) doesn't really reflect how well the system is used.

Overall usage time (A) is a good start, but it doesn't tell the whole story.

Wait, are they really tracking usage? That seems a bit invasive...

I disagree, user satisfaction levels (D) are super important too!

I think option C is the best measure. It shows actual usage by staff.

I recall that training numbers can be misleading; just because many staff are trained doesn’t mean they’re actually using the system effectively.

I practiced a similar question, and I think user satisfaction levels are important too, but they might not directly measure how the system is being used.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the percentage of staff usage might be more relevant since it breaks down who is using the system.

I remember we discussed performance measures in class, and I think tracking usage time could show if the system is being utilized as planned.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The usage time and number of staff trained don't really speak to the monitoring aspect, so I think C is the way to go.

Okay, I've got it. The correct answer is C - the percentage of staff usage split between academic and administrative staff. That directly addresses the objective of tracking and monitoring usage across the two groups.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused here. There are a few options that seem relevant, but I'm not sure which one best aligns with the stated objective. I'll need to think this through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question about performance measures. I think the key is to focus on the objective set by the Executive Board, which is to track and monitor how the system is being used.

I'm going to have to go with option C. It's the only one that specifically mentions monitoring the usage split between the two staff groups. Anything else would be like trying to herd cats with a butterfly net.

Option B is a good start, but it only measures training, not actual usage. You need to go with C to really track how the system is being used.
