Have we got all those things? Though in seperate packages??!??
If so surely its just a case of putting on a frontend for all the
systems so its intergrated. I'm pretty sure its easy enough to get PHP
to talk to all of the different MySql Databases provided.
Has anyone got any ideas to what we can use instead??
This sort of thing really annoys me!! ARGH!!

This may be the Learning Gateway. It is essentially Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 (SPS) configured for LEA/Schools with web parts for Class Server, Exchange Server and LIVE Comms server (Messenger) and some integrating web parts that bring assignment deadlines, school events and personal calendars into a planner view. There are attempts to integrate SIMS as well. All held together by MSSQL server and protected by ISA-SERVER. Very expensive solution but quite good at sharing and indexing information. Moodle has far more learning tools and isn't trying to be all things. RM has Kaleidos as a VLE and CMS and may be releasing a complete MLE/LMS in Autumn which licences SPS from MS. Connect 3 schools only at first. Other similar things on show, NetMedia's MyGrid4Learning and Capita's Learning Platform. All very expensive.
