Umm 98% of East Sussex schools are with the County preferred Learning Platform provider. Seems to me like there is an awful lot of energy being spent on something that isn't going to catch on. Also seems to me that anyone hooking a patch into SIMS is asking for trouble. All it would take is someone to breach the system and a whole load of personal data is out there in the public domain. I certainly wouldnt like to be the tech who set that up. CHoice is a good thing, and competition in the market place does no one any harm, but freeware or open source software is just what it says on the tin. I wonder if many head teachers would sanction its use?

BEWARE installing ActivPrimary via servers. I installed is as a stand alone and then another tech installed id through the server. Result was when the server went down, ActivPrimary didnt work in any of the classrooms. Its a pain having to install as stand alone, but trust me, you really dont want teachers after your hide if they can't use the IWBs for a few days. (In this particular school's case, the server was out of action for three weeks.)
