Can anyone reccomend any different vle's apart from Moodle. We have been in a trial scheme with lancsngfl with moodle, but the staff seem to be very reluctant to give it the green light. One of the teachers here is dead certain that FrogTeach is the way to go. has any one had any experiences with frog teach?? i am not sure if it would be possible to do this, but my line manager seems to think it is possible with some vle's to to synchronise pupils user area with a vle that they can access at home with out having to upload and download the work manually. is this possible??? i would have thought that we would need reverse proxy to be able to get through the county firewall to do this.

nice one ajr. i completely missed out the " marks thanks for pointing that out. thts me being a walley there. :oops: thanks for the advice elusive about the gpo setting, unfortuantely it didnt work.

I think i may have a solution to this problem. what i am thinking of doing is copying the redirected start menu folder to some where locally on the workstation ie. c:\start menu\etc... That way if the kids double click on the start menu, it shouldnt open in a new window. or if it does they wont be allowed to browse the network. all i need to do is create a batch file that will copy the start menu folder from the server and on to the workstaions. i have tried using the follwing in a batch file but have not had much luck. xcopy \\server4\profiles$\pupils\start menu c:\pupils\menu /e /y am i doing something wrong here that it wont copy??

It is great apart from when kids start to double click on the startmenu-programs folder, and then work their way up to the netlogon folder and start looking for any other available shared drives they can access. what you need to make sure is they have denied acces to all the other scripts in the netlogon folder and any shares they are not suppose to have. If there is way of disabling the double click on start menu-programs folder or an alternative, please let me know

Yes this only happens to pupils and no pupils dont have access to c drive which is probably the cause of the problem. i can probably change some security permissions on the coreldraw folder to see what happens.i cant believe i didnt think of so simple like this before, probably cuz i was to adament in disabling the CARM utility in sm registry settings. i'll give this a go 1st thing tomorow mornin and see the outcome. still cant believe tht wasnt the 1st thing i tried.insome funny way i'll be GUTTED if this works. ARRRGHHH!!!

i was wondering if any one has corel draw 12 installed at their school. i am having a small problems when pupils try to save their work it brings up a CARM (Corel Automated Recovery Manger) which always fails and causes the application to close and loosing all the work. i can manually diasable this utility by going into tools and option but every time a new user logs on, the stupid utility is enabled again by default.

Ouch ! i think i am starting to suffer from a bit of RSI, and my wrist is absoloutely killin me wen i use my mouse nowadays, but i'm ok typin away on the keyboard. is any one else suffering from this and what have you done about it. av put an order in for a GEL mouse mat. are these any good?? :x
