I (my school) had used TT and I thought it was rather unexceptional and I wrote a lot of material myself. My current school uses it but I don't bother as I do most of the material myself. It is relatively easy to scan documents and make short videos (I have not done any videos yet but have a camera - although I can't get it to work with 8.1) and put them onto a web server. It is also better to make a localised series of material as the Telford specific stuff does not always reach the students in the same way as the local shop etc. It also galls me to pay £3,000 a year for a few web pages that could be knocked up by 6th form students as part of their AQA Unit 11 work. The other problem with TT is that it is intended for A-C students and is therefore useless for Foundation students who really need web based material. TT have not addressed this issue as presumably there is no money/kudos in it? Ooo would be fine for GNVQ but with the old caveat that there is no Access like DB to use. I am going to try to get my students to sign up for UKLinux and play with phpMyAdmin. The course spec does not require them to use forms, although these are "pretty", so php should be fine. The other alternative that I can see, though not free, is to use Ability Database as that will run with Wine/CrossOver etc. It is fairly cheap and has the same Doze feel as Access. HTH Paul PS If anyone wants to write an Open Source GNVQ project for Foundation using Ooo with me...NATO (Not A Thomas telford Offshoot?, Not thomas telford Aimed at Foundation?)
