I am unsure about what this means. Surely the National Curriculum should not be linked to any particular ICT tool provision. Freedom of choice and all that.
Reality is that most material is produced for a particular tool at the moment. Is the NC developed in an open manner at the moment?
If anyone has info on a decent easy to use open source educational programming tool that can be understood by weaker visual learners (eg. similar to Flowol) then let me know where it is.
If I had any idea what you were talking about here, I might be able to make better suggestions. Can you try restating it, either without reference to other products, or giving readily-available citations for them? I think you may mean something like the Squeak smalltalk system from http://www.squeak.org/
I have looked at Moodle but it has to integrate with the normal authentication methods. One login for everything.
That should not be difficult, as long as your authentication service uses some reasonably documented protocol. What is it?
love to have a better, faster open source alternative that integrated well.
Surely free software is evidently better for integrating in a heterogenous environment? However, looking for a direct product replacement seems odd to me: it normally means that the spec has been written to fit a particular winner. </delurk> -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.
