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 SIMS 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?

“Online reporting means parents have secure online access to information on their child’s progress, achievement, attendance, behaviour and special educational needs, when and where they please. This means an improvement to the way you communicate with parents.”
Extract from Becta

Targets have been put in place by Becta 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
• IntegrisG2
