How are you going to fulfil parental engagement? BECTA's requirement is for Parental Engagement and Online Reporting. Has east sussex rolled out SLG to schools yet? -

penfold_99 replied to Duke's topic in Virtual Learning Platforms
Hi Chris, I have fixed the flyer link. We are using SIF to connect to SIMS and CMIS. Moodle and SIMS.net are third-party product handling sensitive data and SIF2MOODLE is an extension of moodle so would forsee and issues. -
SIMS2MOODLE is not available for download it come as part of an onsite installation and support package.

The information is pull from sims every hour and push into moodle. SIMS2MOODLE is open source. It comes with an installation and support package.

Programatic data extraction from SIMS.net Data Base
penfold_99 replied to NetworkGeezer's topic in MIS Systems
@geekulike What data do you want to pull out of SIMS.net? Are you wanting to develop custom application that use data stored in SIMS? We have done a lot of work in supporting SIF and using it to pull information from SIMS and CMIS. If you let me know what data you want to query i can tell you if SIF supports it. If it does we might be able to create a SIF agent that supports your need. -
Hi Dan, Have you though about support the SIF standard? This will allow you to support all the leading MIS's and only have to develop one insterface.

SIMS2MOODLE uses command reporter to get information out of SIMS.net SIF2MOODLE uses our Moodle SIF Agent. SIF2MOODLE will superceed SIMS2MOODLE once released as it will handle parental engagement and reporting.

I have created an alternative version that doesn't rely on direct DB access. We are nearing a release that supports SIF. A Demo of SIMS2MOODLE/SIF2MOODLE is avaliable at SchoolsICT's Moodle Demonstration

Zimbra Email BGFL?
penfold_99 replied to mtdmitchell's topic in West Midlands Regional Broadband Consortium (WMnet)
There is a way to have SSO between zimbra and moodle. I wrote a block that enable access, you can download it free. I might be something Bgfl could implement. MoodleMe - Zimbra Single Sign On (SSO) Block -
If you can let me know your full requirements I can write it for you. If your ok with having the information stored in a csv file i will do it for free. if you wanted a more complicated version there might be a nominal charge because it would take longer.
