SchoolsICT is delighted to have been appointed by Groupcall to supply Groupcall Xporter as part of enabling interoperability between the leading management information systems and the Moodle learning platform.
Ian Tasker, Director of Innovation and Development at SchoolsICT said, “GroupCall are market leaders in extracting data from school management information systems and with their latest product Xporter SIF in partnership with our product SIF2MOODLE, schools will be able to engage parents and report online using the Moodle learning platform.”
The release of SIF2MOODLE is eagerly awaited and expected in just a few weeks. For the first time, parents will be able to realise the potential of Parental Engagement and create a genuine dialogue between themselves, their child and their school in a 24/7 environment without increasing the burden on schools. Communication and access to real-time information of a child’s progression in school is to become a genuine reality.
SchoolsICT visionary product will exceed the stated expectations of Jim Knight, Minister of State for Schools and Learners in his letter of 2008 and enable genuine parental engagement in their child’s education.

SchoolsICT is a member of the Suppliers Association for Learning Technology and Interoperability in Schools, an industry group which is working to improve the effectiveness of learning technology in schools by raising standards of technical interoperability. |
SchoolsICT intends to become actively involved in interoperability issues as SALTIS begins to extend its work to consider interoperability issues in terms of data transfer between diverse applications within schools. Our SIMS2MOODLE product achieved a level of integration between SIMS and Moodle enabling the automatic population of course information and enrolment of students onto courses.

SchoolsICT are very pleased to be a provider to the Vital community. This is a very exciting project supported by ‘The Open University’ and ‘e-skills UK’. Vital’s tag line, “transforming lessons, inspiring learning” is very close to our vision as a serious provider of Continuing Professional Development supporting teachers in their use of learning platforms.
The SchoolsICT Case Study ‘Overworked Biology Teacher!’, was very well received by the Vital community and we are keen to continue our contributions to the community as part of our collaboration. We believe our experiences and support are a positive influence in supporting teachers in a timely way.
During the course of the next few weeks we will be building our space in The Market Place as part of the Vital community and look forward to working with anyone wishing to develop their own pedagogy as they work with their learning platforms.
