Moodle emerged in 1999 from the Australian higher education community.
Moodle is an open source virtual learning environment (VLE), also known as a

The in-School Moodle allows your VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) to be
hosted on a dedicated server at your school.
From our experience the in-school Moodle has been shown to give a number of
notable advantages, significantly:

online parental reporting
Moodle & MIS integration
Integrating your Moodle VLE with your Management Information System (MIS)
will not only significantly reduce the administrative duties of your staff but will also
enable you to present parents with up-to-date attendance data on their children,
improving parental reporting in your school.
Until now, transferring information from your MIS into Moodle was a manual
process. With Moodle and MIS integration software, this process is automated
meaning your MIS data is available in Moodle.
Why is parental reporting important?
Targets have been put in place by the Government for parental reporting in
schools, they are:
• Primary schools will provide parents with online reports by September 2012
• Secondary schools will provide parents with online reports by September 2010
Moodle and MIS integration provides a solution to these targets. By having your
Moodle VLE and your MIS integrated you can allow:
• Parents to view useful information on their children such as attendance data
• Teachers to take advantage of MIS data in the classroom and at home
• Students to see a selection of relevant MIS data within the VLE
SchoolAnywhere can integrate the following Management Information Systems
(MIS) with Moodle VLE:
• Capita SIMS.net
• CMIS

Case Study - King Edward VI
Grammar School, Lincolnshire
King Edward VI Grammar School had set long term goals in mind when
they decided Moodle was the most suitable learning platform for their
school. They wanted their Moodle to be fully resourced, reviewed
regularly, to contain effective links between assessment material and
extension/support work and effectively used for access to Wikis and
glossaries. They are now well on their way to achieving all their goals
with the help of Moodle.
When their Moodle was first delivered they also decided to get the
maximum amount of support available, tapering this off as their expertise
grew.
This high level of support has enabled them to become skilled
at populating their Moodle. They have now added lesson plans,
homework, web links, worksheets, audio visual and admin resources to
their Moodle.
King Edward VI Grammar School wished to host their own Moodle so
if the internet connection was slow or non-existent they could still have
access to their virtual learning environment.
This was achieved with the in-school Moodle solution, where their
Moodle was hosted on a dedicated server on their premises.

Case Study - Mount Grace
School, Hertfordshire
At Mount Grace School there are in excess of one thousand registered Moodle
users amongst the staff and students.
They have uploaded a large amount of third-party curricular content to their
Moodle, which allows students across Key Stages 4 and 5 to access this
content both at home and in school.
Through Moodle networking, Mount Grace have connected their Moodle to
that of another local school, Hertswood. The two schools are thus able to share
online materials and resources, effectively doubling the usefulness of their virtual
learning platforms.
Having online resources across subjects gives students something to refer to
when completing homework assignments or writing coursework.
Students can also leave feedback for staff- perhaps to request the type of
content they’d like to see added or to suggest ways in which the Moodle
experience could be improved.
Teachers can use the Moodle to set homework tasks which can then be
completed by the students, allowing the teacher to review at a glance all the
work completed online.
Staff from Mount Grace school received in-school training on using Moodle from
one of SchoolAnywhere’s expert trainers.
Two of their staff also joined up with a member of staff from Hertswood to visit
our offices for an in-depth day’s training on the administration of Moodle.
