Our school has recently updated our old CMIS system to SIMS which is due to go live in September we are currently dual running both systems. My job between now and then is to re-develop the entire way in which the school collects and processes its assessment data, however I have no prior experience of using SIMS and only took up this position June last year!</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
Although I and other senior members of staff have had the basic assessment training through CAPITA we are all still very much novices and would be looking at bringing in a consultant with a fluent understanding of how to set up / run assessment manger in SIMS, who would be willing to work alongside me and possibly another member of staff (<abbr title="Senior Leadership Team">SLT</abbr>) with the view to explain and guide us in the right direction to ultimately enable us to run the process our self's.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
If this is something you or you know of someone who could help us with this could you please message me. We would be looking at possibly bringing someone in from mid June / July 2013 to help in the first instance. Also it would be nice if this is an option for an estimated cost of the support to approach and get approval from <abbr title="Senior Leadership Team">SLT</abbr>.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
Thanks in advance,</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Basically we are looking into getting SIMS and we are wondering if anyone has any experience of running SIMS on a virtual server, Pros and Cons?</p><p> </p><p>
The server we will be using is a file server will this cause any issues such as overloading?</p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">778</guid><pubDate>Mon, 10 Dec 2012 09:45:54 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>RE: SIMS Learning Gateway vs TASC Insight</title><link>https://www.edugeek.net/blogs/entry/768-re-sims-learning-gateway-vs-tasc-insight/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p><p> </p><p>
I would just some information on the differences between the SIMS Learning Gateway (SLG) and TASC Insight. </p><p> </p><p>
Is it possible to do the same with Insight as with the SLG? </p><p>
Which do people prefer (opinions)? </p><p>
User Friendliness, Which seems better?</p><p>
Any problems with either that people have noticed?</p><p>
and finally...</p><p>
Any limitations which people have noticed between the two?</p><p> </p><p>
I know this is a lot of information been asked for, but we are currently in discussions about changing <abbr title="Management Information System">MIS</abbr> and we are reviewing the cost of elements included in the SIMS package.</p><p> </p><p>
Thank you all in advance.</p><p>
