MIS?
By Tricias - Posted on June 14th, 2010
Hi
I've looked at last years discussion of OSS MIS systems but would welcome some further help.
I've been asked about a "free or low cost Windows SIMS that is computer based rather than web based." Probably for international use. Can anybody help, is anyone using one or could point me to someone else to talk to?
Thanks
Tricia

School Closures
I'm working with quite a number of schools on http://myschoolclosures.com
The idea behind the project is that parents and teachers can be notified in the case of a closure, registration can be done from inside of a school learning platform/website and all school info is available using the api.

The OpenEducationDisc is currently undergoing development for its next version. We have a strong line up of software focused on the national curriculum and beyond. We are looking to add a few programs mentioned previously on opensourceschools such as Numpty Physics and Scratch. if you would like to suggest any other software that you think teachers and students in Key Stage 1-5 would find useful please drop a reply to this thread.
