[Moodle] Open Source Student Behaviour Tracking Software?

[Stephen Digby]

Access works fine with multiple simultaneous users by default. The only problem is the security levels needed to get some level of
privacy for SWC info and YLC info.

To implement this the MS way you need to have a security key on each station used to access the database with info about the users
that will access it etc.

To avoid the need to learn about (as well as setup and maintain) such a system, we used what we knew, which was Vis Basic and
access.

It works fine here for 60-70 simultaneous users.  Main problem still remains that teachers don't feel they have the time to fill it
in. Next thing I will try is a dedicated station running nothing else to encourage teacher data entry.

Stephen.
I can easily write the Access database (it is already done) but my understanding was that it would not work with multiple
simultaneous users over a network. How dem do dat, Sir?
Cheers, Keith
