Anyone using My Big Campus ?

Hi Synaesthesia,

 

The Lightspeed integration with SIMS is for the purpose of synchronising teacher and student information such as who is teaching what class and who is enrolled in each class.

This information is managed in SIMS and Lightspeed is updated from SIMS in order to place students into the correct collaborative group for each class and ensure the teacher is the administrator of the class group.

While this is not the only example of how Lightspeed uses the information from SIMS, Lightspeed does not pull information about attendance or behaviour from SIMS and does not push behaviour information such as a user's web activity back into SIMS.

Information from both SIMS and Lightspeed can be used to show OFSTEAD or another governing or regulatory body that a school has robust pastoral care, safeguarding and behaviour management practices.

 

Thanks

Ken

Thanks for the answer, unfortunately not something we're after. OFSTED have been pushing for certain information to be made electronically available to parents and pupils, often done via the VLE (we currently do this via Moodle, have done in the past via Sims Learning Gateway) and it appears MBC is unable to do so. Would have been a nice addition and would have made us give serious thought into using it as our "VLE". (enclosed in quotes as they're often so much more than what's expected from a VLE these days)
