We are a college - 16+ - and use that the student unqiue learner number - which is an 8 digit number, the first two digits being the year of intake. As for students remembering it we have the advantage of all students having to carry an id badge whilst on site and we print the student number on their id badge. Given that they need to type it in in order to can access to college pcs/ moodle they soon learn it! The massive advantage of using the id number is that AD/ MIS/ Moodle and all of our other systems are a lot easier to tie together. Makes for much simpler system integration and we've had no complaints from the students.

take a look at jquery mobile. it will give you native(ish) app on both android and iphone and also be usable as a website

but windows 8 won't so - VLC

The GIF Pronunciation Page that is all

We have mouse mischief here and the tutors love it.

ohh soooo jealous - I want one :-(

or boot it from a knoppix cd/ usb stick=- or similar live linux CD - This will let you mount hte disk and copy any information off onto a network location. Then you can reinstall and copy the data back again.

That's true.

I would check if you VLE supports changing the url. FOr example with moodle you can go to http://www.sitename.com/admin/replace.php this will then let you put in the old url and the new, then search and replace in the old url in the database with the new one. there fore you wouldn't need url rewrite

we use vshare. there is a cost but it's tiny.

we include upcoming exams and als exams results for the last 3 years in a tab within the student Moodle PLP

ahh yes my bad

or raid 5 with more disks

I don't think you can actually download and install it. Canonical are asking for OEMs to partner with at the moment

not a desktop app but Subsonic totally rocks.

it should work. If you do get it working I'd suggest you P2V it into a virtual machine and then you can keep a back up of it.

i'd start with this: RRAS on a Domain Controller windows server 2008 - Routing and remote access VPN setup - Server Fault

Hi I've sent you a PM regarding this. But essentially we are a college based in Kent who use Moodle as our VLE and can show how we use it and potentially help out.

it's desktop and mobile devices combined

everyone is going down the html 5 route. Even adobe. Flash is dead

would it be better waiting to see what's released when the RasPi comes out and having a play with that before jumping distro? all the RasPi demos with a desktop gui seem to be running LXDE btw

There are several models of microserver so you'll need to check. Mine takes ECC laptop style memory. Best bet is to use the Kingston site or similar and use their memory checker. Ther way you know that you are getting the right thing.

it doesn't do raid 5 in hardware. I have one running 4 X 2tb disks in software raid and the included 250gig as a the system disk mounting in the cd drive bay. It runs Ubuntu Linux and as a home server totally rocks.

We use it here with our exchange 2010 environment - i don't think it works with exchange 2007. We use it as our phone system and it works really well. We have a mix of desktop phones, jabbra mini handsets for laptop users and headphones with mics. Overall the users get on really well with it, although our reception were very stuck in their ways and took some persuading. We have also just set it up for federated access with another college in the area.

sounds like a php error. Best bet is to turn on error reporting in your php.ini and then it should print our any errors and give you an idea of what's happening
