siuko Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Does anyone have a definitive list of VLE's and their abilities? I am researching a new VLE at the moment, specifically the technical side of things and wondered whether there is an upto date comparison table? If not can any people using VLE's list their VLE abilities. Specifically: 1) Does it connect to the Active Directory? 2) Does it do single sign on? 3) Does it share homedrives for remote access? 4) Does it do Single sign on email integration? Thanks
powdarrmonkey Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Our deployment of Studywiz can do all this (we don't use SSO, but I believe it can do it...)
CyberNerd Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Our Moodle install does all this too, but again we don't have SSO - just the email SSO.
siuko Posted October 12, 2010 Author Posted October 12, 2010 I am looking for SSO onto all parts of the VLE/Email/Homeshare so it speeds up using the system when at school - as I feel the easier it is to access and use - the more likely it will be used
itgeek Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 integration is the key.... 1) Does it connect to the Active Directory? yes 2) Does it do single sign on? yes 3) Does it share homedrives for remote access? yes 4) Does it do Single sign on email integration? yes answer... moodle..
mgothorp Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 1) Does it connect to the Active Directory? yes 2) Does it do single sign on? yes (with a program called frog live) 3) Does it share homedrives for remote access? Defo 4) Does it do Single sign on email integration? It has an email system intergrated that can be imaped to outlook FROG
bossman Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 @siuko: 1) Does it connect to the Active Directory? yes 2) Does it do single sign on? yes 3) Does it share homedrives for remote access? yes 4) Does it do Single sign on email integration? yes Another question I feel you should be asking: 5) does it integrate with SIMS or its equivalent MIS system? When Moodle version 2 has been ratified it will be the VLE which will answer yes to all these questions and of course it is free!!! Frog states it does but I have spoken to quite a few schools who have paid an absolute fortune for it to fail on the MIS question.
mgothorp Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 I have forg - sims intergration and it works
rpwillis Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 SharePoint does: 1) Does it connect to the Active Directory? yes 2) Does it do single sign on? yes 3) Does it share homedrives for remote access? either with a 3rd party product or using SharePoint itself to store documents 4) Does it do Single sign on email integration? yes 5) does it integrate with SIMS or its equivalent MIS system? Yes with 3rd party products Richard
