MIS Event 2008: 21 November 2008
Cited in:
There was a time when school management computers belonged in the office and computers for learning belonged in the classroom. A case of 'Never the twain shall meet!' Those days are gone and learners, teachers and managers all need access to these business-critical systems both in school and beyond the confines of the school buildings and the school day. Recent policy initiatives around learning platforms and real-time reporting have underlined the need for a holistic approach to the use of ICT to support the needs of learners, and the needs of their parents and teachers too.
