PHP or ASP.NET

Yes, I agree it would also be difficult. Contributing to and working on Moodle would be a better way forward I reckon.

 

I agree also. Or find some other already existing web software and modify it for use in school(s)

 

link into our CMIS database using SQL.

What, a Virtual Geeking Environment? 8)

 

That doesn't need to be created, we already have one, right here

@Plugged in - if you are going to maintain a seperate database to your MIS system then the fields you need to generate in your SQL database are basically the fields you want to be able to pull out and display in your VLE.

 

So First name, second name, pupil ID no, Year group, form etc. would all be usefull.

 

But before you go looking at what data you need to pull out you need to have a good think about what your VLE is going to be used for and therefore what data is going to be needed. Are you going to want to filter out content based on year groups, Key stage, Attainment levels, attendance levels etc.

OK thanks limbo for the heads up.

I will have a good think about it and get back to you with my project progress.

plugged_in: If you're going to start something like that, have you considered using one of the MVC frameworks for PHP, eg CakePHP or Code Igniter?

I probably will go mad. I am going to document my progress and take it from there. It would be nice to watch it grow.

Ok off now to the BECTA site to read what they say about the laws of building a VLE on the web.
