[Technical] Content Management Systems

Mon May 28 17:29:03 EST 2007

Hi Stephen,
We are using Scholaris at Kew High. I believe Mark Lee is at your school
- he was at Kew when we implemented it. Scholaris does a nightly import
of data from CASES and FirstClass. Computelec have now assumed the role
out duties for SolutionsIT who are Perth based. I believe they are
changing the funding structure to make the package modular. They are one
of the tenders for Ultranet.
Cost depends on school population and depending if your school will host
it or it will be off site. The program is very powerful and feature
rich: e.g. VELS, Learning Federation Learning objects are built in; I
understand they are talking to Clickview. Let me know if you would like
more info.

Sounds interesting !. 
Looked at the site and it seems to advertise itself as "report writing".

Does it update in real time from "The Timetabler" data or do you use
different timetabling software ?
Also could not find a price... 
Could you tell me who is doing the installs ?

We are in the process of implementing Scholaris. Its an educational
solution based on MS Sharepoint. It has
everything that opens and shuts and fully integrates with all our other
systems - Synergetic (admin),
Timetabler etc etc

I know one of their partners has done over 40 installations in schools
this year alone
