We did a 'functionality' review of different systems a few years ago and didn't come up with a fool proof solution, but we are in the process of decommissioning our existing Intranet because teachers need to know things like Dreamweaver, VB, to make changes to it. Basically, no-one except a special few knows how to use it properly so no-one uses it. We have been using Masterfile for SET plans for a few years so we've decided to give this a go. So far, so good. It seems to integrate well with TASS. All of our student data automatically transferred into Masterfile at the beginning of this year so when students login they only get to view the courses they are enrolled in.
We are also using the 'communities' module to share documents and other files with groups of people. You can restrict access to communities if you need to. Masterfile uses single sign-in so you are automatically logged in to Masterfile when you login to the network. Calendars is an area that we haven't looked at properly yet. Kym From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of paul Sent: Wednesday, 9 February 2011 8:15 PM To: QSITE ICT Teachers Subject: [qsiteict] Managing multiple school websites and preventing duplication Hi I have a concern about Information management as it often happens in schools, and wonder if anyone has found a successful way around the problem. Schools often have a range of web based sites, that often duplicate information. This either leads to information that doesn't get correctly updated or doesn't get done because the whole concept is perceived as a waste of time. An example might be Course overviews. They could be on the school website, in a Virtual Learning Environment like Moodle, and on the school intranet. Similarly calendars. They exist in sites like TASS (used by some private schools), Moodle again, and Intranet and school web sites. Authentication processes like LDAP at least mean that one login fits all, but there still seems to be so much duplication. Has anyone suggestions on how they've successfully managed Information to prevent duplication over a range of web based applications?
