Assimilate Learning Platorm

[Col_Tech]

Hello Guys,

As I work in education I am often lumbered with different projects and inititives that are devised by the higher authorites when something needs to be done. Working in the IT sector of education this is esspecially so. Anyone is currently working in education in Liverpool will know that in May 2008 it is compulsary that all schools have the Ramesys Assimilate learning platform, or Virtual learning envrionment (VLE) if you like. I attended the BETT event on Wednesday and was shown the first pilot version of this platform. I was wandering if anyone has already got this in place because I have been placed in chrage of the management of the system when we get it. Its a pretty straight forward interface that is basically aimed at making it as easy as possible for kids to persoanlise their workspace and submit work. The tehnical aspect of the platform is a lot less complex than the likes of Moodle, and frog teacher which are other learning platforms. So if anyone has got any informaton that may help then bring it on.

Cheers Guys, Keep Smiling

I've been looking software for a few months and my gut instinct is a good one.

The interface and functionality are amongst the best out there.

Hang in there and see what happens.

Yep I agree... however I have had some dodgy comments about the platform, probably just teething problems to be honest. I have visited a School that was running moodle and the interface looked fantastic, however low level students may struggle. I was impressed by the assimilate platform in all honesty, it looked simple which is what a learning platform should primarily be I think.
