Merlin

[lindylou]

Morning!

 

Superfletch is correct, in the last week or so, application links to Moodle, SWGfL Easymail and KnowledgeBox have appeared in the Manage Modules area of Merlin Admin Tasks. There is also one for EducationCity, but I am not sure if that one is fully functional yet. Administrators choose the apps appropriate to their school, then teachers and pupils see a new icon called My Applications appear in My Place. The user fills in their usernames and passwords, plus domain name where needed and they have single sign-on to those apps. Admin users don't seem to get the My Apps icon though.

 

I haven't written up the Help notes for Dorset users yet (my patch of SWGfL) and given it is the end of term and the system is down from tomorrow for the big summer upgrade, I hoped they wouldn't notice! Witch, give it a go with both your Moodle school and the other that plans to use Merlin and let me know if you have any problems.

 

The SIF programme to link Merlin and SIMS has been rolling for some months and other MIS are under final testing. Please talk to your LA contact about their plans, I can only speak for Dorset.

 

Hope that helps!
