We are using Moodle too as our CMS and a wise choice to stick with a FLOSS solution. Money saved each can go into staff training, support and hardware for the CMS .. as one parent on school council kindly noted, school money spent that is invested back in the local school community. We will explore setting up a Drupal server once the dust settles down from our recent multiple server virtualisation project. :-)

Apologies for the Cross post. (I know we are all busy with reports)<br><br>The college has decided to implement a content management system as the<br>first step to a full LMS however we have run into an issue where by due
<br>to cost it is prohibitively expensive to by licenses for every student<br>to use the system. To over come this the students use the guest access<br>and staff use there own password protected accounts.<br><br>What I would like to know is if anyone has used? Is using ? Or has heard
<br>of any Gateway tool that we could put between this system and the<br>internet to force students to log into using there current School<br>accounts which them lets them see the guest account.<br>This also prevents Google from indexing the CMS.
