Hi Tom
We're on Learnwise too at the moment at South Cheshire College. As you
may know, Granada Learning has withdrawn support for their product and
so you will have more luck if you move to something else. There are a
number of questions you probably need to ask before you start thinking
about an alternative:
- what are the expectations of the kids - after all they're the end
users here
- how big a project are you prepared to undertake and how much support
will you need?
- what is the skills level like of your staff?
- what do you want this platform to be able to do?
- what are other institutions around you doing (other schools, colleges
and universities)?
- where will most of your resources come from and what kind of files
will you be dealing with?
- how much maintenance will you/other members of staff need to do?
If you think that Moodle ticks the right boxes, then by all means go
ahead. For us, it doesn't.
Think wisely and if you want to chat about this off list then please
feel free to email me directly on

Subject: [VLES] Struggling with Learnwise VLE
Dear All,
Any advice greatfully recieved:
I have taken on the role of E-Learning Co-ordinator at our secondary
school, and we are currentley using 'Learnwise' for the VLE. This is
proving quite unfriendly. Myself and the school technicians are
struggling to upload a relatively straightforward 'VLE ready' piece of
software, published by longman. We think we can solve the problems
(mainly
due, we think, to the number of files that need to be uploaded), but I'm
worried that this will become a trial everytime we want to upload/use
all
but the simplest of courses.
so.....
Do we ditch learnwise at this early stage, and if so, can anyone
recommend
a VLE system currently in use in a secondary school?
Anyone with any prior experience of Learnwise please feel free to add
any
general comments about the system!
Thankyou in advance
Tom
