*******************************************
In many institutions, there is a very sharp divide between 'curriculum' and
'MIS' - even to the extent of physically separate networks - and as this is
even more embedded mentally than it is in the infrastructure it is very hard
for what would seem obvious to any kind of information professional to be
implemented!
The 'dream' is something totally integrated where each individual can sit
down anywhere in their institution (or even off site), log in and gain
access to everything that they require... be it learning materials,
registers, personal data, whatever... naturally via a robust access control
that ensures that nobody gets to look at stuff they should not see. This
kind of transparency is a long way off :-(
Even the products available - assuming you are going to buy commercially
rather than write your own systems - are not as yet designed to do this kind
of thing... and if you have just spent £loads on a new VLE, say, and then
committed a lot of time and energy to put learning materials on it, you
don't want to change even if the sort of fully integrated solution you'd
want was available!

experts and techies."

I guess this means that an MLE is still a distant dream?
