I would suggest that college users need to perceive their VLE as being secure.
Teachers can hardly be expected to develop on-line material within an insecure
VLE and users are unlikely to be happy to work on-line unless they feel their
efforts are secure and auditable.
Teachers using external on-line facilities on an ad hoc basis are in fact using
generally robust and secure systems. These systems however do not integrate
with a college MLE(MIS) or (better still from a techie perspective) network
directory service. Until this IT integration is achieved at the
business/functional level user authorisation and authentication will remain a
complicated and obscure process.
It's all down to network management and the need to avoid the bespoke allocation
of access rights.
